And when we say bosses, please understand we aren’t being facetious. RZ is literally one of our 2025 Women of the Year, and has our vote for sheriff any day.
In her Women of the Year interview with Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler opened up about the responsibility of becoming, if not a head honcho, then at least top of call sheet, and how to act graciously as the most famous person in a production.
“I certainly was very moved by you on Shazam!—you were just part of the crew. There was no sense of being above, no sense of anybody being below,” she told Mirren, explaining that for her recent turn on the West End, “I got a lot of people who were shocked that I would show up to warm up every day with everybody. I think that there was an assumption that because there was a quote-unquote celebrity lead that I would be like wind through a fence, in the shadows; I would do my thing, and then a body double would come in and do my job. I can’t imagine missing out on life like that because of some sort of air of importance. We are a crew.”
