During a Netflix Q&A, she recalled how Wednesday’s reaction to the black dress she wore to the Rave’N dance at Nevermore Academy was originally supposed to go down.
‘I remember there’s a line where I’m talking about a dress and initially she was supposed to say: “Oh my God I’m freaking out over a dress, I literally hate myself,”’ she recollected.
‘And I was blown away because that sounded like… it was just a bunch of little things like that. I felt like we were able to avoid a lot of dialogue in an attempt to make her sound human.’
