How Mikey Madison Transformed Into ‘Anora’ — Her Breakthrough Role in the Cannes-Winning, Oscar-Frontrunning Film

On a night like any other, a girl is plucked out of an ordinary existence and chosen for something more. When Anora, a young sex worker in Brooklyn, played by the transformative Mikey Madison, meets Mark Eidelshtein’s Ivan in a neon-hued, satin-ensconced nightclub, a whirlwind romance quickly blossoms.

Still, reality finds a way, as it often does, to come crashing down upon their heads. Ivan’s the son of a Russian oligarch, and when his family catches wind of what their faraway offspring has been up to, they hurry to America to shatter Anora and Ivan’s nuptial bliss and have the marriage annulled as fast as possible…
