She is perhaps best known for starring in the Netflix series “The Haunting of Hill House” as well as the followup series “The Haunting of Bly Manor.” She is also known for appearing in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood.”

She is repped by Gersh, Management 360, Rogers & Cowan PMK, and Sloane Offer.
