Emily Bett Rickards Instagram – Before the ink was even dry on the contract, @emilybett set to work on becoming Mildred Burke. Transforming her body and shifting her mindset to the ring, Rickards started her research with @queenofthering by Jeff Leen. Using the book as a bible and basis to guide her, the research went beyond that, digging past the surface to find a woman who, not only helped pave the way to make female wrestling a viable and profitable sport for women in the 1940s and 50s, but powered through a world who told her ‘no’ at every turn.
In conversation with Schön! Magazine, Emily Bett Rickards discusses Queen of the Ring, her relationship with the source material, how she physically prepared for the role, what she hopes the audience takes away from the film, and how history should remember Mildred Burke. #Linkinbio for the full interview!
