The two actresses star in the Netflix action flick about a dutiful princess sacrificed to a snarling dragon.
The 20-year-old actress stars in NetflixsDamsel,a twisty survival story that aims to reimagine classic fairy tale tropes.
I truly loved the idea of playing a princess turning into a warrior, she explains.

This time, however, shes not playing the young heroine but the scheming queen.
And its just fun.
Its fun to play layered characters like that.

Besides, she notes, she has some experience playing manipulative power players.
I kind of did that on a show calledHouse of Cardsfor six years, she says.
So I didnt stray too far from that beast.
But she says her favorite moment was filmingDamselsfiery finale.
(No spoilers, but its a blazing moment of female rage that would make Daenerys Targaryen proud.)
It was a chaotic day, the actress remembers.
So, I was able to channel a lot of anger from that.
Plus, that day was probably one of the hottest days in Portugal, so it didnt help.
Damselis now streaming on Netflix.
