- Towering height
- Daughter of actor Sam Waterston and model Lynn Louisa Woodruff. Born in Westminster, London, and raised in Connecticut.
- She has one child, a son was born in 2019.
- She has dual US and UK citizenship.
- Attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she graduated with a B.F.A. in Acting.
- Claims that she auditioned several times for "Law & Order" but never got a part in the show, despite being the daughter of the lead actor, Sam Waterston.
- The hell of rejection and panicking about whether you've really fucked it all up by pursuing a life in the arts, that stuff's tough, but there's also a wonderful solace in it. You get to be alone with your work.
- It's so weird being an actor because some days you're just swinging upside-down off the side of a spaceship shooting an alien and you think, "What the hell am I doing here? How did this happen?"
- When you are the kid of an actor, it's always a very inviting world. Everyone is nice to you, the hair and make-up people braid your hair and play with you, and the costume department makes outfits for your teddy bears. It's really misleading, because then when you actually go to pursue a career in acting, you realize that people aren't so friendly.
- I don't really care about the size of the part. It's just the scripts and the characters and the people I want to work with.
- Self-promotion is not my strong suit, for sure. I don't look down on it; I just don't understand how to do it.
