Mikey Madison won the best actress Oscar on Sunday for “Anora," a role that catapulted the 25-year-old into a film career after achieving initial success on television.
Her victory was part of a huge night for the Brooklyn-set comedy-drama, which won five Oscars, including best picture and directing honors for Sean Baker.
Bruce Miller talked with Mikey Madison about "Anora" before Oscars.
Madison had been best known for playing a sullen teenager in the FX comedy series “Better Things,” which ended in 2022. She also appeared in the hit movies “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood” and the fifth installment of the horror franchise “Scream.”
Bruce Miller is editor of the Sioux City Journal.
