67
68	* DyeHard: Regularly changes hair colour/style for her roles and makes a point of announcing this via "transition posts" on her social media accounts. However, she went with a wig for ''Film/GhostbustersFrozenEmpire''
69	* PlayingAgainstType:
70	** As the cold-blooded, psychopathic CreepyChild Emma Grossman in the Lifetime adaptation of ''Film/{{The Bad Seed\|2018}}''.
71	** Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/SpiritUntamed'', where she plays a more ditzy comic relief, contrasting the [[ChildProdigy Child Prodigies]] that she usually is known for playing.
