As a big believer that Taylor Russell is one of the best actors of her generation, it was the ultimate treat to have her on an episode of Collider Ladies Night. Her star soared courtesy of the Escape Room franchise, she was named Breakthrough Actor of 2019 at the Gotham Awards for her work in Waves, and now she delivers one of the very best performances of 2022 in Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All opposite Timothée Chalamet.

Russell plays Maren in the film, a young woman who was born an “eater,” someone who needs to consume human flesh. Due to this hereditary condition, Maren’s forced to live an isolated life on the outskirts of society. But, the same is true for Chalamet’s Lee and once they find each other, there’s a glimmer of hope that they indeed deserve love and have a place in this world.

With Bones and All now playing in theaters nationwide, Russell joined us for a Collider Ladies Night chat to revisit her journey from The Mummy fan to becoming one of the most promising talents in this business.
