Haley Bennett Instagram – “Oppression of any kind has become fuel for me. Male domination is very much alive. To tell these stories about women who are ambitious and successful is what I want to do.”
Bennett says a period piece about a woman fighting for her own lane should resonate more than ever as Kamala Harris prepares to lead the Democratic Party in the election. (Bennett, who played JD Vance’s sister Lindsay in the movie adaptation of his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” declines to comment on the Trump-Vance ticket: “I understand why you’re asking but I just want to celebrate ‘Madame Clicquot’!”)
Madame Clicquot was wily and intelligent and she had talent and technique and she understood her craft,” Bennett says. “She was innovative and forward thinking. And what set her apart and what made her a success is that she had good instincts and she had grit. She stood on her own because she didn’t have a choice. That is what women do – we get on with it. I hope Kamala gets on with it, too. I think she will.”
Bennett takes a much different turn in “The Last Frontier.” She stars in the Apple TV series as a CIA agent opposite Jason Clarke and Dominic Cooper. The show has been shooting for about seven months. “The CIA jargon,” Bennett says. We’ve gotten very creative in how to memorize all of this incredible dialogue. It’s like dialogue Olympics and physical ‘Gladiator’ training at the same time. I’m trying to do as much of my own stunt work as possible. I basically channeled Tom Cruise.”
