Florence Pugh on How Zoe Kazan ‘East of Eden’ Collaboration Helped Boost Her Confidence
The actress who plays the central character of Cathy and serves as an executive producer on the well-reviewed Netflix adaptation was Kazan's first and only choice for the role: "I didn't have a backup."
Anne Hathaway wrapped up her successful year with the debut of her film "Verity" in New York City. Florence Pugh made her feature film debut in "East of Eden" during the same event in NYC. This week in Hollywood saw a slew of high-profile premieres, including the Netflix film "Animals" starring Steven Yeun, Adriana Paz, Ben Affleck, Kerry Washington and Luis Gerardo Méndez.
Other events included Demi Moore and Ali Larter receiving recognition at the Step Up’s 2026 Annual Inspiration Awards in Los Angeles, Olivia Rodrigo launching her "The Unraveled Tour" in Connecticut, and Mandy Moore and Sarah Michelle Gellar unveiling Target’s new beauty destination, Target Beauty Studio, in Los Angeles.
