Bonus episode: Emmy nominee Mckenna Grace (aka 'Esther Keyes')
from Eyes On Gilead: A Handmaid's Tale Podcast
It's 2021 Emmy Awards season and we're back with another bonus episode, interviewing some of The Handmaid's Tale's incredible nominees. Today we invite Mckenna Grace into the Zoom room, or you may know her best as Mrs Esther Keyes. At 15, McKenna is the youngest nominee for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series. Mckenna talks of the sense of responsibility she feels to do justice to Esther's story; how she shot the salvaging scene in episode 401 'Pigs'; what the future holds for Esther and Janine; and her biggest fear during the season 4 COVID-19 shutdown: a growth spurt. We also talk about her upcoming star turn in the much-postponed 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife'. You can rewatch the box set of The Handmaid's Tale season 4 at SBS On Demand.
