Elizabeth Moss Recalls Being Intimidated by Angelina Jolie on Set

Elizabeth Moss shared emotional memories from her early acting career. She spoke about filming “Girl, Interrupted” in 1999. The experience left a lasting impression on her. Moss worked alongside Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. She recently reflected on those intense early days.

The actress appeared on “Live with Kelly Ripa” on SiriusXM. She described the atmosphere behind the scenes. According to Moss, the set felt divided. There were two distinct groups among the cast. The tension mirrored the film’s dramatic tone.

There were two camps on set. One belonged to Winona. The other belonged to Angelina.

Moss admitted she felt genuinely afraid at the time. Angelina Jolie seemed intimidating to her. The feeling was never discussed openly. Moss said she never brought it up later. She believes Jolie had no idea.

I have spoken to Angelina since then. She is absolutely lovely now.
Back then, everything about her felt overwhelming.

Moss explained that the division reflected the film’s storyline. The rivalry existed mostly off-screen. However, it was fueled by on-screen dynamics. Ryder and Jolie played opposing characters. Their roles shaped the cast’s energy.

I was in Winona’s camp. Angelina’s camp felt powerful and cool.
I never imagined being part of it.

The film is set in the late nineteen sixties. Winona Ryder plays Susanna Kaysen. She enters a psychiatric hospital after a breakdown. Angelina Jolie portrays sociopath Lisa. Elizabeth Moss plays Polly, another patient.

Today, Moss looks back with understanding. She credits the experience for shaping her strength. Fans recently received more exciting news. Moss confirmed a new season of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Filming will begin soon.
