Does Mary Elizabeth Winstead dislike Passions with a passion?
The Hand the Rocks the Cradle actress was recently a guest on Zach Sang’s podcast to discuss her career, which began when she was just a tween. In 1999, at age 14, she landed the role of Jessica Bennett on the supernatural soap Passions, a daytime drama known for its totally unhinged storylines, campy tone, and eccentric characters, including witches, talking dolls, and unexpected love triangles. The gig marked her first major break in Hollywood and set the stage for a career that would span television, film, and beyond.
But the experience wasn’t exactly a dream come true.
