a handful compared to other women of that time. She truly is in her own league. ML: What was your experience like working with such a talented cast in Queen of the Ring, including Emily Bett Rickards, Marie Avgeropoulos, and Walton Goggins? Eastwood: Emily was the leader of the pack on and off camera. Marie is now one of my best friends. Walton Goggins was a dream come true. ML: You’ve recently starred in several thrillers, such as Clawfoot and Running on Empty. What is it about the thriller genre that captivates you as an actress? Eastwood: I never look at a project as a thriller or genre. I just look at the character and try to create that as best I can and let it go. The great thing about working on so many thrillers is that, exclusively on a thriller, once you have your character in you, it’s a lot simpler because there’s so much going on in the script that all you have to do at those heightened moments is be there. ML: You’ve appeared in a range of genres, from thrillers to indie films. How do you approach selecting the roles you take on? Eastwood: I used to look at things more long-term and strategically, but now I mostly use my intuition. ML: You’ve had notable roles in both television, like Twin Peaks and Fargo, and film. Do you have a preference between the two mediums, and why? Eastwood: Both film and television have been good to me, so I could never choose a favorite. I appreciate the difference between the two. Both are fulfilling in different ways. ML: In addition to acting, you’ve also modeled for major brands like L’Oréal and Too Faced. How do you balance your modeling career with your acting projects? Eastwood: I do whatever I have time for. If the time can’t be made or it’s too much of a struggle, I’ll let one go. Prioritizing what’s most important and not forcing things is as important as chasing a dream. ML: When you’re not in front of the camera, what are some of the things you enjoy the most in your personal time? Eastwood: My greatest joy is my son, who is 6. My life with him I consider to be the only thing that will ever be close to perfection. We went horseback riding. I like to read. The Unbearable Lightness of Being is what I’m about to finish as soon as I’m done with this interview. I love resting and being lazy if I truly have a moment alone. I think it’s underrated, doing nothing—how nice and quiet that is. Connect with Francesca: www.instagram.com/francescaeastwood
