#VISIONARIES ✨ Uzo Aduba and Melanie Lynskey have carved space for nuanced, unapologetically real women on screen—from Aduba’s sharp turn in #TheResidence to Lynskey’s haunting work in #Yellowjackets. 

Melanie Lynskey’s breakout role at age 15 in Peter Jackson’s “Heavenly Creatures,” opposite a young #KateWinslet, marked the start of a career defined by quiet defiance and emotional depth. From that early moment of learning by doing to her acclaimed performance in “Yellowjackets,” Lynskey has continually resisted pressure to conform—on and off screen.

"I don't know where I got the strength within myself to just be like, ‘What if there is a middle aged woman on television who looks like this?’” Melanie said. “People who look more like me can watch TV and go, ‘Oh, I recognize myself in this person.’”
