Summary
24-year-old Ella Rubin says Prime Video’s “Sterling Point” arrived as she felt ready to take bigger emotional and comedic risks, after watching the season finale with co-star Amélie Hoeferle.
The Megan Park series follows Annie Jacobson, a driven Brooklyn teen who inherits a Canadian island, uncovers family secrets and discovers a younger sister she never knew she had.
Rubin said playing Annie’s grief, perfectionism and sister bond felt personal, adding that one of the season’s final emotional moments was improvised with her own sister in mind.
Her profile traces a career that accelerated after “The Girl From Plainville” and the “Gossip Girl” reboot, with later roles in “Anora,” “Fear Street: Prom Queen” and “The Idea of You.”
Rubin said the show also convinced her she has real comedy chops, as she looks toward more comedic and physically demanding roles next.
