CAMILA Mendes
ACTING AUTHENTICALLY
From her breakout role on Riverdale to her star turn in Do Revenge, Camila Mendes is no stranger to playing a seemingly unshakable, popular high school girl with complex emotions and motivations. But sometimes, she says, it can be "exhausting" to generate that kind of self-assuredness. "When I'm playing characters more like me, it's a different energy." After portraying the ambitious but out-of-place Ana Santos in the rom-com Upgraded, she said her dad told her it was nice to see her play a character truer to who she is.
Mendes, 30, says that while she's not looking to play only Latina characters, she always tries to infuse some sort of Latinidad into her roles so they feel more authentic to her. In Do Revenge and Upgraded, she was able to get the characters' names changed to root them in Latin heritage, she says. Most recently, she co-starred in Música, a movie she described as a celebration of Brazilian culture. She felt the weight of responsibility trying to do two things at once: provide positive representation for an underrepresented group and do it in a way that feels real and not forced. "It's really hard to walk that line," she says, but "if you stick to being authentic to yourself, then you can't really go wrong."

Love Story tries too hard to be The Crown for America
IF THE KENNEDYS ARE THE CLOSEST THING AMERICA has to a royal family, then Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was our Princess Diana. Like her British counterpart, she was an outsider—albeit a beautiful, stylish, blond, privileged one—to the palace intrigue that consumed the family she married into. She was stalked by paparazzi and alternately worshipped and vilified. And then she died, in her mid-30s, in a horrible accident, only to have her legacy dissected for decades to come. We never let either woman rest in peace.
