INTERVIEW BY GALAXY INTRO BY ETHAN BREHM
scene in 2012 with a supporting role in Noah Baumbach’s underground hit Frances Ha as the title character’s best friend, Sophie. Since then, the actress has been in some amazing projects, and has now found another big opportunity to level up her career once more with a starring role on Snowpiercer. She plays Bess Till, a Brakemanturned-Train Detective, who finds herself at the center of a series of murders on the train. The actress has always shown her range and ability to mold into any role throughout her career, and here her talents are on full display again. Mickey doesn’t reject her celebrity status, but also finds advantages to being able to fly a bit under the radar and morph into different characters. She talks about the effects of the infamous “fame monster” and how she’s had the benefit of seeing fame first hand from such a young age, which has given her a unique perspective. Growing up in a household with famous parents isn’t always easy, but Mickey acknowledges and has learned from the privilege that comes with it as well. The actress gets personal with us about her struggles with anxiety, an issue that many of us deal with, but also has some fun discussing which fandom characters she’d like to be able to play. Galaxy is able to lend a helping hand as well...
