Letitia Wright, Millie Bobby Brown, & Dakota Fanning Stun In New Issue Of W Magazine

Letitia Wright, Millie Bobby Brown, and Dakota Fanning are featured in the newest issue of W Magazine. The three leading ladies were chosen to a part of the magazine’s TV issue, alongside some of other stars changing the TV game. Highlights from their interviews are below.

Millie on shaving her head for Stranger Things: “The shaved head was a big deal. On the one hand, it was cool. When you’re bald, rain feels like a head massage. I’d walk in the rain, and people would look at me like I was crazy. I’d be smiling—so, so happy to have the water hit my naked head. But on the other hand, people stared at me, wondering whether I was sick. Some would even laugh at me, without knowing whether I was or wasn’t sick. It was hurtful, but their attitude taught me something about compassion. In the end, being bald was the best thing I ever did—being different changed my life. I wanted to embrace my baldness and, hopefully, inspire people. And, now, that’s become my message to the world.”

Letitia on making an impact in acting: “For as long as I can remember, I knew something about my life was meant to be meaningful, that I’ve got something to do here. I don’t know how I knew, but I was sure I’d make an impact.”

Dakota on the corset she wore for The Alienist: “I didn’t get quite as attached to the corset. But one of the most important things about The Alienist was the costumes. I fainted during my first fitting. I had just gotten off the plane and was swollen and jet-lagged. They put the corset on, and I said, ‘I’m going down!’ I had to sit. But I got used to it. My body completely changed. For better or worse, the corset puts you into the character. It affects everything you do: breathing, walking, sitting, standing, and definitely eating.”
