Seyfried captivated audiences both with her humor and her voice, notably in the romantic film Dear John.
In later projects, she displayed her dramatic prowess in the moving Les Misérables, convincing Ethan Hawke in First Reformed, and portraying actress Marion Davis in Mank, which earned her an Academy Award nomination.
Recently, Seyfried has made waves with her leading role in the thriller The Housemaid, a box office success grossing over $130 million, and has also received acclaim for her performance in the musical The Testament of Ann Lee.
