In the psychological thriller Saint Maud, Welsh actress Morfydd Clark plays a woman who believes she can communicate with a higher power. In real life, she's still getting the hang of talking to the press without passing out.

It's Me, Morfydd   As you might expect given Canada's reputation, the Toronto International Film Festival is a famously friendly event. But for Welsh actress Morfydd Clark, who attended for the first time in 2019, it was "one of the most stressful, awful experiences." As the star of the psychological horror Saint Maud and a supporting actor in The Personal History of David Copperfield, Clark had two films premiering at the event. She was working double-time and getting more attention for her work than she'd probably ever gotten for anything in her entire life. So she was not not freaking out inside when, during a Copperfield Q&A, she fainted on stage. Now, Clark is safely holed up in her sunlit room in New Zealand, where she's been living for more than a year while filming Amazon's Lord of the Rings series. (She's reportedly playing young Galadriel, Cate Blanchett's part in the Peter Jackson movies.) She relates this story not as a charming anecdote but as a mortifying incident that she seems to hope will get less horrifying with the retelling.
