Victoria Pedretti: I Felt So Insecure on Broadway But Now I’m Owning Who I Am

In this NEW episode of our podcast, "Don't Change a Thing," Elisa and Lily reconnect with actress Victoria Pedretti who previously sat down with them for an episode of “What’s Underneath.” Victoria—star of Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “You”—has recently been making waves on Broadway in “An Enemy of the People.” She dives into her experience of facing an audience on stage where—unlike in the TV world—you don’t receive constant validation, and discusses both the vulnerability and the sense of sturdiness she’s had to draw upon within herself.

Returning to theater has reignited Victoria’s ferocious passion for her work—she views acting as a powerful role, with her duty to tell the audience the story as best she can. There’s no space for her to be blasé or insecure, and she’s simultaneously quit weed to help her be even more present to life. Victoria has been advocating for her dreams while refusing to fall into the trappings of fame—in fact, she was at her most miserable when her life appeared the most glamorous—and her commitment to storytelling above all is what drives her forward.
