To complete our list of Women in Hollywood honorees, breakout star #MikeyMadison underwent a total transformation play Ani, a spirited sex worker with power and grace, in Sean Baker’s #Anora. She needed to be “different than me, in every single way,” the actress says. Yes, she’d need to twerk. But more than that: To be as comfortable in her body and voice as Ani would be in hers, Madison underwent “intensive” training, including pole dancing, learning how to give a lap dance, and mastering a Russian accent and a Brooklyn dialect. To better understand Ani’s world, Madison read memoirs written by sex workers, watched documentaries and YouTube videos, talked to consultants, and visited strip clubs herself. “I have a completely different perspective on it,” Madison says. “In a club, women are almost in a position of power, but then outside of it, people view them in such a different way.” Ani is “a sex worker, but that’s just her job,” she continues. “She’s a person, and I hope she’s viewed as such.”
