Anna Kendrick says she almost turned down 'Alice, Darling' role because of past abuse

Anna Kendrick says she nearly turned down her latest role as a woman in an emotionally abusive relationship in "Alice, Darling," because she was only recently removed from a similar situation.

In an interview with People, Kendrick talked about how the part echoed her own life.

"I was coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse," she said. "I think my rep sent it to me, because he knew what I'd been dealing with and sent it along. Because he was like, 'This sort of speaks to everything that you've been talking to me about.'"
