10 Times Netflix Caused Major Viral Trends

The dream of an actor: to make it onto the big screen. The lesser-known dream: to make it in the Bizz straight out of school. Both of these dreams were achieved by Netflix’s most talked about actress of 2020 - Victoria Pedretti. Pedretti graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2017 and managed to snag the breakthrough role in everyone’s favourite Horror show - The Haunting.

Netflix has a way of bringing instant fame and recognition to young performers (more on that later), but I wonder if, when Pedretti landed the role of Nell Crain in The Haunting of Hill House, she had the foresight to know what it would lead to.

Netflix has seen her play a truly horrifying ghost, a devastatingly traumatized woman (same person), a psychopath and an LGBTQ icon with a horrifying past, present AND future.

Never have I been more grateful to Netflix, and I know many others feel the same; the acting chops are strong with this one. And just how many people can say their first ever movie role was in a Quentin Tarantino feature?

Victoria can.

I wonder what’s next for this young, trailblazing actress?

Lily thought it was about time she wrote Top Ten lists for people other than herself. She also owes her dog a lot of money so she thought it was about time to pay her dues. There is no tv show she likes that she hasn't seen at least twice.
