Eliza Scanlen

ACTOR

The Australian actress’ inspired turn as Amma Crellin opposite Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson in HBO’S critically acclaimed “Sharp Objects” won her a lot of attention. And now Scanlen has just been cast as Beth March in Greta Gerwig’s star-studded adaptation of “Little Women” for Sony, opposite Meryl Streep, Emma Stone, Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet and Florence Pugh. “I’m passionate and curious about all elements of filmmaking, as well as theater,” she says. “Acting will always be my first love, but I have become more and more interested in the writing process. I think my one goal is to be a part of sharing important stories.”
