All About Her Role as Gladys Russell

Taissa said in an HBO interview that “[Gladys], like any teenager on the brink of adulthood, is craving her own independence, and the chance to experience the world.” The actress continued explaining how Gladys would likely give up all of the “fancy dresses, the French chef and the butler and the maids,” just to be happy.

“[Gladys] doesn’t have that same desire or desperation to be accepted into high society.” Taissa noted.
