## Caption

#HaileeSteinfeld thanked “Sinners” director #RyanCoogler for giving her the opportunity to connect with her Black roots and learn more about her family’s history.

The ‘True Grit’ actress’ maternal grandfather is half-Black and half-Filipino. Steinfeld said that making discoveries about her own family history informed her performance as Mary, a multi-racial woman in Coogler’s 1930s vampire thriller. 

When asked about how her relationship with being white-passing has changed since filming “Sinners,” Steinfeld told Sirius XM host #MikeMuse that it “left me with more questions than it did answers.”
