For seven seasons, Kiernan Shipka was Sally Draper on “Mad Men.” The actress grew up on screen holding her own in scenes opposite Jon Hamm and January Jones. By the end of the series’ run, Draper was an angst-ridden teen, ready to escape her parents’ shadow. Now, Shipka is Telulah Farrow — a platform-sporting, ripped T-shirt-wearing, heavy eyeliner-applicating high school student in “Fan Girl,” which premiered not long ago at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The part is among several new roles — including a sibling in the supernatural family drama “One and Two” and a scared teen in the upcoming horror flick “February” — showcasing a new, mature actress who graduated from the hit AMC series. She’s a 15-year-old who lives with her parents in Los Angeles. Despite all that she has achieved, Shipka said she wants to be like Emma Watson. The actress is a big fan of the former “Harry Potter” star and aspires to achieve the same career successes. She said, “I love Emma Watson, I think she’s amazing. She would probably be whom I would say I’d love a career like. She’s a great actress and we’ve kind of seen her grow up too, so we’ve got that similar vibe going on.” (SD-Agencies) |
