Summer Howell had never read Carrie when she auditioned for the title character in Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of the Stephen King classic, but that didn’t stop the Manitoba-born actor from beating out more than 1,400 other people for the part. In the Prime Video series, which dropped all eight episodes last week, Howell’s version of Carrie White is a curious but sheltered teenager raised in seclusion by her mother, who sees the outside world as a threat. When her father dies, Carrie starts public school, where she’s humiliated online and begins to realize she has telekinetic powers. Off screen, the 22-year-old’s world is more journals and tarot cards, and less lighting her school on fire with her mind.
Waiting in an airport for 5 extra hours to go home. Delayed planes suck.
What’s something in your home you’d never get rid of?
I don’t argue with people anymore. Waste of my time and energy.
If we’re talking ice cream, cookie dough.
What’s something you pretend not to care about?
How do you know it’s time to leave a party?
The people I surround myself with! My family and friends.
