Episode Details

Ella Beatty, daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, is starring as Lizzie Borden in Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, diving headfirst into the haunting tale of the infamous axe murderer. Drawing on her parents’ advice to “get interested rather than be interesting,” Ella brings a grounded, observant approach to portraying a figure she calls perhaps the “first female monster.” She felt an instant connection to the role, drawn to its exploration of repression, revenge, and societal mythmaking. Transitioning from theater to TV, Ella credits her artistic upbringing for shaping her collaborative, instinctive performance — and she’s thrilled to reimagine this enduring legend for a new generation.
