While she may not yet have achieved the same level of name recognition as some of her peers, Cailee Spaeny has spent the past few years working on a number of acclaimed films and TV shows. In 2018, she not only made her big-screen film debut in "Pacific Rim: Uprising," but went on to have noteworthy roles that same year in "Bad Times at the El Royale," "Vice," and "On the Basis of Sex." The latter three films received largely positive reviews and gave Spaeny the chance to prove her worth opposite actors like Dakota Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Felicity Jones, Kathy Bates, and Jeff Bridges.

In the years since then, Spaeny has appeared on shows like "Devs," "Mare of Easttown," and "The First Lady." None of her previous movies or TV shows have offered her as big of a spotlight as "Priscilla," though, which may end up propelling the actor even further up the Hollywood ranks. While Spaeny herself hasn't yet commented on her role in "Priscilla," either, her co-star, Jacob Elordi, has had nothing but good things to say about his experience making the film.

"It was really nothing short of magic," Elordi recently told T Australia about getting to work with "Priscilla" writer-director Sofia Coppola. "She's a really beautiful, calm person. I just learned so much about filmmaking." Now, moviegoers only have a few more months to wait before they see the end result of Spaeny, Elordi, and Coppola's collaboration.
