Kaitlyn Dever's been adding titles to her filmography for quite a while now, but the one that had my jaw on the floor was her work in Destin Daniel Cretton's Short Term 12. I'll never forget seeing that film for the very first time and getting utterly overwhelmed by that wave of certainty that Dever would go on to do big things. From there, it was one impressive title after the next - Justified, Detroit and Beautiful Boy, just to name a few. Dever isn't just solidifying herself as one of the most talented stars of her generation, but she's also highlighting the fact that she's got an eye for powerful projects in the process.
I was lucky enough to talk to Dever about her 2019 release Booksmart quite a few times over the course of that movie's run, and calling that experience a pleasure would be an understatement. Not only is Dever and the folks behind that film an utter joy to spend time with, but it's also a film that's making a positive impact as a highly entertaining comedy with thematic heft that makes it emboldening and inspiring.
Then we got Dever's Netflix series Unbelievable in September of 2019, further cementing it as a landmark year for the actor. Not only did she score Critics' Choice and Golden Globe nominations for her performance, but Unbelievable is also a show that could truly make a difference by raising awareness of the effects of sexual assault.
