she said.[6] After she got the part, playing an emotionally demanding
role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio,[7] she said she "had to go in there
extremely open without any expectations. Just like the audition
process and even the filming process, I didn't know what exactly I was
getting into. I prepared myself physically, emotionally and
spiritually to be as open as possible so I could take direction, feed
off my surroundings, and feed off my relationship with Leonardo within
the scene. Obviously it’s a period piece and so I was trying to
connect to a layer of my ancestry as well."[6]In 2016, The New York
Times mentioned her as one of the 'lesser known faces' of the
entertainment industry, in whom the fashion industry has taken an
interest to promote new fashion.[8]
