As Pedretti explained toWmagazine, her public high school “didn’t really have a theater program.”
As for extracurricular activities, well, she was out of luck there too.
“We had a drama club but it was barely operating.
“One of the first auditions I ever had was for the first season …
It was the first callback I ever had for a show.
I don’t know, but I do.
I have to, I play her.
I am her, to a certain extent.
When it came down to it, Pedretti learned a lot from being on the show.
“I still felt empowered inYouto be careful.

“Yeah, that was really fun!
I get to scare people,” Pedretti described the experience of being a specter toDecider.

“The idea that people actually want to be with the psychopath and the murderer is a joke.
“It’s making other people think that women actually want to do that.
Pedretti admitted toVarietythat the biggest challenge for her overall was getting used to being a Cali girl.
Rather than bringing them closer together, Love’s darker side confuses Joe.
“It really disrupts their relationship.
I mean, clearly, with the ‘Hey, you’ at the end,” she said.

I felt so sorry for her.”
