In Maestro, Carey Mulligan gives what's being heralded as "one of the best performances of the year" as actress, Felicia Montealegre, the partner of acclaimed American conductor and composer, Leonard Bernstein, portrayed by director and lead, Bradley Cooper. Her collaboration with Cooper in the discovery of Montealegre's pivotal role in Bernstein's life has all eyes on Mulligan as a possible Oscar contender for Best Actress, but the role wasn't without its challenges.
Following our FYC screening of Maestro with Landmark Theatres, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Mulligan for an exclusive Q&A to talk about joining forces with actor-director Bradley Cooper and how she first got involved with the biopic way back in 2018. She shares the advice that's been a foundation of her career, and the moments she tackled on the set of Maestro that most intimidated her.
Check out the full interview to find out how Steven Spielberg, who served as a producer on the film, inspired Mulligan's performance as Montealegre, how a childhood game she played with her brother led to a memorable scene in the movie, which game she'd lose on if she was a contestant on Squid Game: The Challenge, and loads more!
