American horror series Yellowjackets offers “some of the most exciting roles for young actors right now,” according to the publication, which says it’s the duo of Sophie Nélisse and Sophie Tatcher who have made the breakout season two . The Quebecer embodies the character of the young Shauna, while the 22-year-old American actress plays the young and rebellious Natalie.
Nélisse, 23, loves that the Emmy-nominated drama explores femininity in ways “that we don’t typically see on TV that often,” noting that it “shows sides that aren’t as pretty, the aren’t perfect — that. “Women can go crazy and be jealous and do horrible things,” says Variety of the Windsor, Ontario-born comedian.

In addition to starring in the multi-award-winning series and being on the Variety charts, the two young artists share a common vision of the profession, the place of women in the industry, and creation.
Both actresses – who are particularly concerned about the lack of female representation behind the camera – want to write and direct someday. We also learn that Sohie Nélisse wants to design her own projects and that she is pursuing the rights to a book to bring to the big screen.
The list of the 50 artists selected in Variety’s Young Hollywood Impact report, revealed Wednesday, consists of young people from across the film, television, music and digital communities. These were chosen because they caused a stir in the past year. They are presented in alphabetical order.
