“It changed my life,” she said. “I stopped throwing up, mostly. It took a while. But that was a big one.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone in January, Lynskey opened up about frequently being targeted for misogynistic comments about her appearance throughout her career and how Yellowjackets is an opportunity for better female representation.

“It was really important to me for [Shauna] to not ever comment on my body, to not have me putting a dress on and being like, ‘I wish I looked a bit better,’” she continued.

“I did find it important that this character is just comfortable and sexual and not thinking or talking about it because I want women to be able to watch it and be like, ‘Wow, she looks like me and nobody’s saying she’s the fat one.’ That representation is important.”
