The just-turned 18-year-old actress can be seen in the new movie Black Beauty, which just premiered on Disney+ on Friday (November 27).

Rounded up and taken away from her family, Beauty is brought to Birtwick Stables where she meets a spirited teenage girl, Jo Green (Foy). Beauty and Jo forge an unbreakable bond that carries Beauty through the different chapters, challenges, and adventures of her life.

  • 1. I have two dogs, one named Malteaser (after the English malted milk ball chocolates, Malteasers), and one named Don Corleone. Malteaser is obsessed with fruit and Don Corleone loves popcorn and PopChips a rather absurd amount.
  • 2. My favorite movie scenes are the first scene in The Social Network, and the respective last scenes of Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Madeline’s Madeline. Also: every scene in 3 Women.
  • 3. I am a huge fan of Annie Baker’s plays and have read them all (my favorites are John and The Antipodes), but have only ever seen one (The Aliens) performed live.
  • 4. A few months ago, I started being pen-pals with a few of my friends. Writing letters is a lot of fun; I think there is something cool about the prolonged form of conversation which letters allow (something — given texting, Snapchat, etc — which feels now kind of extinct). And waiting and waiting for a letter and then getting it and being able to hold it in one’s hand is a wonderful feeling. Letters from friends feel like a tangible slice of the friendship.
  • 5. I would love to play Jessica in This Is Our Youth.
