In a (Shakespeare) Galaxy Far, Far Away
(Starts at 7:30)
Daisy Ridley rose to fame almost overnight when she took on the legendary role of Rey in the latest "Star Wars" trilogy. With filming her final stint as Rey behind her, the classically-trained Ridley is looking for smaller, meaty roles to sink her teeth into. Her latest project, “Ophelia,” based on the Lisa Klein novel, is an alternate look at "Hamlet," with a dynamic, strong-willed Ophelia at the center. Ridley talks with John Horn about her empowered portrayal of the Shakespeare classic and establishing a career after "Star Wars."
