Actor Lily Gladstone made history last month when she netted a Best Actress nomination for her work in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
At the top, we discuss this landmark moment for the film (7:00), her personal approach to the role of Mollie Kyle (9:58), and a revealing scene between Lily and Leonardo DiCaprio (15:40). Then, we walk through Gladstone’s connection to the “trickster” story (19:00), her creative upbringing on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana (21:55), and her road to acting as a teenager (26:50) and later a touring performer in her twenties (30:40).
On the back-half, Gladstone reflects on her early, complicated experiences auditioning in Hollywood (43:05), how she and Martin Scorsese aimed to honor the Osage legacy in this new project (47:20), the life-changing performance that came to be (56:50), and her hope for a true paradigm shift in the entertainment industry (1:02:15).
