Elisabeth Mossnavigates the raucous male gaze on and off-screen like no other.
Each character also finds themselves in Moss' own psyche, and transforms as she does.
It can be hard to separate the two, as Moss has become synonymous with dark and intense roles.
“I really started on the dark path kind of early,” she laughs.
All the while, Moss juggled her acting career with homeschool lessons and ballet, she tellsThe Daily Beast.
She tellsVogue, about playing Peggy: “I felt like I could see Peggy.
And it’s Peggy who has it all.”
“June is a heroine like you are and I am and my mom is,” she says.
“She’s a mother.
She’s a wife.
She’s a woman.
I think that’s really interesting the question of, How would you act in her position?
What would you do?
What kind of hero would you become?”
Then you get into Gilead.
The role also inspired her to stay true to herself as a woman in the workplace.
“Her Smell,” however, is a little different.
I wanted to shake her off and didn’t want to be her anymore.
She’d exhaust me, because I pushed myself so much.
Nobody wants me to do it!
They only want me to do this like, sick, challenging s***.
I’m just so not."
