The Devil Wears Prada star spoke about the incident during a Q&A session following the premiere of her new movie, Eileen, at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend.

“I just remembered one of the very first questions I ever got asked when I started acting and had to do press was: Are you a good girl or a bad girl?” Variety reports Anne as saying.

“I was 16. And my 16-year-old self wanted to respond with this film.”

The actor brought up the incident as she described wanting to work with Eileen director William Oldroyd after seeing the 2016 drama Lady Macbeth, which starred Florence Pugh as a woman trapped in a loveless marriage to an older man.

“I thought it was an extraordinary work,” she said.

“I saw a study of female complication that hit me really, really deep, and I felt like Will was a filmmaker that could be trusted to tell complicated stories, especially about females.”
