Madison received the BAFTA award, which usually have great compliance with the academy’s judgments. “This is a very surreal event for me,” said “Anory” while receiving the statuette. “I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always seemed so distant to me, so that I’m here today is really amazing “ – she added and admitted that the statuette was a dream come true.
25-year-old Mikey Madison beat Demi Moore in the Oscar race
Mikey Madison is one of the ten youngest Oscar winners for the leading female role in history. Although “Anora” is not a debut of the 25-year-old, her filmography does not contain even ten full-length titles. The winner of this year’s Oscar will declare that she wanted to become an actress when she saw the performance of Jennifer Lawrence in “Death Games”. Madison gained popularity in 2016 thanks to the role in the series “Better life”, in 2019 she lent the voice of Candi in “Family of Addams”, and in 2022 she played Amber Freeman in a scream. Before “Anora” her most important role was the one entrusted to her Quentin Tarantino.
Mikey Madison Six years before the first Oscar in her career, she starred in the film “Once upon a time … in Hollywood”, in which she played Susan “Sadie” Atkins, one of the members of the “family” of Charles Manson. A woman is a murderer, a complicit eight killings, including a murder at a pregnant Sharon Tate. In the film Tarantino Atkins dies in a spectacular way. First, she covers the can with food from Brad Pitt himself, then he is bitten by a dog, and for dessert she falls into the pool, where she is set on fire by Leonardo DiCaprio. Her terrifying scream remained in her head long after the screening.
The director of “Anory” Sean Baker noticed Madison in the film “Once upon a time … in Hollywood”. When the creator received the Oscar for the best directing, he thanked Quentin Tarantino. “Without ‘one time’ it would not be ‘Anory’ ‘- he said. Earlier, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Baker admitted that he was very impressed with the scenes in the Tarantino film with Madison. “She crushed me in the scene of her death. I thought: ‘Who is this girl? She steals Brad Pitt’s scene!” – he said and added that he watched the film three times to be able to admire the actress’s performance again.
Who is Mikey Madison? The actress played in a spectacular stage at Tarantino
Madison also delighted Baker with her role in “scream”. When he watched the actress on the big screen, he was in the process of looking for a role player or in “Anor”. “Mikey introduced a brilliant humor to this film, she had a attitude towards the world I meant. I made a decision at the cinema, and when I left it, I called Agent Mikey and made an appointment with her” “ – quotes Baker Gazeta Wyborcza.
Privately, Mikey Madison is a rather shy person who does not speak much and is not the soul of the company. “She is more a listener than a talk,” says Sean Baker quoted about the star quoted by gq-magazine.co.uk. The characters play on the screen extremely far from her true nature. Despite this, “Anora” was a huge challenge for the 25-year-old. The actress was to undress for the first time in front of the cameras, but she perfectly understood her task. She played a sex scratch, who gets into an affair with the son of a Russian oligarch in a disarming way. The young actress managed to gain the sympathy of viewers and somewhat conjure up the stigmatized profession of her heroine.
When the 25-year-old was preparing for the role in “Anor” she consulted with sex employees and pipe dance instructors. She even visited the clubs with striptesis in Los Angeles. “I now have many great friends who are part of this community,” says Madison. “Conducting the widest possible reaser to the role was very important to me. I wanted to understand this group of people to be able to present Ania’s life reliably and realistically. I didn’t want to go into sensation or exaggerated drama. I wanted it to be a story as close as possible to the truth” – recalls the actress.
