Victoria Pedretti doesn't scare quite so easily anymore. At least, not since she's become TV's favorite new horror queen, a sort of "Jamie Lee Curtis, millennial edition."
Fans of the acclaimed Netflix series "The Haunting of Hill House" know Pedretti from her breakout performance as the warm and sympathetic twin Nell Crain. She nabbed that role just seconds after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in 2017, and her success has led to two more roles: She returns to that series for its second season (called "The Haunting of Bly Manor," an all-new spookfest out next year in which she plays a completely different character); and she stars in the second season of "You," another Netflix hit, playing the object of Penn Badgley's affection. Unfortunately, he's a sweet but obsessive serial killer and in the show's first season last year, well, things didn't work out so well for his lady friend.
Pedretti, 24, who grew up in and around Philadelphia, also recently appeared as a murderous Manson hippie in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." She recently spoke by phone with Newsday contributor Joseph V. Amodio from Vancouver, on a break from shooting "Bly Manor."
