Although Sweeney is now becoming a household name, she’s been working in Hollywood for over a decade. When she was 12, she drafted a five-year career plan and presented it to her parents in a PowerPoint to convince them to let her work as an actress, according to a recent interview with British GQ.
“It said something along the lines of: if she auditioned for X short film, she’d be recruited by agents Y and Z, and then she’d booked this film where she’ll meet this well-connected producer, and so on,” reporter Iana Murray notes. (View Highlight)
Her family spent the next few years traveling between Sweeney’s hometown of Spokane, Washington and Los Angeles for auditions. She had booked small roles in “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Criminal Minds” and other TV shows, but it wasn’t the kind of Emmy-winning work she had hoped for as a pre-teen.
Meanwhile, Sweeney was dealing with heartache in her personal life: The Sweeneys lost their house in Spokane due to money troubles and her parents got divorced.
Five years passed quickly – and Sweeney recalls the exact moment she realized her career hadn’t panned out the way she planned it, on the morning of her 18th birthday.
“I always thought that when I turned 18, I’d have made enough money to buy my parent’s old house back,” she told British GQ. “And somehow by buying that house back, it would have [brought] my parents back together.” (View Highlight)
The 5 year time flops are insane:
- Makes five year powerpoint plan about being successful actress at 12
- Feels like a failure at 17, parents divorce
- Cast in Euphoria, HBO's most watched first season show to date at 22
The first season was the most watched of HBO's series in the 18–49 demographic

Sweeney once told Influencer Intelligence that in another life, she would be an architect, lawyer or pro athlete (“in any type of sport”). But it’s clear that her original dream job – actress – is working out just fine.
Much of Sweeney’s success can be credited to her self-determination: In addition to acting, British GQ reports that she’s also studying entertainment law at business school and running her own production company, among other projects.(View Highlight)
She played her role in White Lotus really well too, I couldn't stand her character. She played spoiled brat so well. Though in the end, her brother caught the W.
IDK if anyone is actually taking advantage of the fact that the episodes of this show can be watched in any order.
- too lazy, autoplay is why people watch NFLX
- there are characters that get introduced in previous episodes, and that would cause confusion
Peter Mark Kendall !== Jack Quaid

In this episode, Ray faces a lot of prejudice being treated as a criminal by rich white people because he's black. But the thing is… he is a thief in the show which makes them… right in this very specific case XD? So why make that a central theme of the episode?
I don't know how an entire building that houses millions of dollars of merchandise somehow lacks sprinklers.
Mia Atehortua is crushing the role as daughter in this show and Atlanta too, she's no lie a great actress.

Heist shows always out here trying to one up each other with the things they put into the final boss safes. "It detects your sperm count and if its off by even a single sperm, the room immediately heats up to 1000C and you die"
What happened to Hannah's pregnancy being a main topic of the show?
When did ray learn to program 17 years in a body shop in prison
The thieves all want to risk lives to live on some beach or some shit for 500/month
a better character motivation is just challenge and thrill -money is too brittle a motivator for this level of risk

is there actually no cure for fungal mind control? how would it control a multiprocess organism w nervous system, circulatory, etc? I guess the brain does it with no problem so perhaps a fungus that could get low enough into the brain stem could force muscles to move, like Michael did:
94 Degrees?

Naughty Dog developers created the idea for the Cordyceps brain infection after they were inspired by an episode of the BBC documentary Planet Earth titled "Jungles", narrated by Sir David Attenborough. In the episode, it features an infected ant being killed by Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, as well as showing a variety of other insects and arachnids that were killed by different species of the fungus.
On this scene, creative director Neil Druckmann said: "it was all based on the idea that the more numerous a species becomes, the more likely it is to be preyed on by this fungus." In reality, it is quite impossible for humans to be fatally infected by the Ophiocordyceps genera but may undergo behavioral change or 'disorder'. Since humans are easier to dissect (in terms of removing foreign substances or matter) than insects (also body size can also have a different outcome for the infection), normal Cordyceps would take weeks or months for it to be fatal (View Highlight)
