In fact, aside from her actual job, she doesn’t do anything associated with Hollywood very often. She grins knowingly through it all, clear that most actors of her profile and demographic have probably got this pandemic-induced routine down by now.īut Ambrose doesn’t do these sorts of interviews very often.

Ambrose is laughing as she logs on a few minutes late. On that series, co-star Rachel Griffiths once said to Ambrose, “You’re able to be very angry,” to which Ambrose offered a confused “thank you.” “I wasn’t sure what it meant,” she says. She’s never really been one to hold it in. This is also the actor who made her name as an angsty wonder on Six Feet Under, the emotional fireball of Claire Fisher.

It took some time to realize I’d never seen Ambrose like that before. The performance is quiet and mysterious and deeply still. Her latest role, as Van in Yellowjackets’ second season, is starkly internal, a woman shaped by profound adolescent trauma and unwilling to examine it.
