Ella Beatty stopped by TODAY to discuss her turn as Lizzie Borden in Season 4 of Netflix's anthology series MONSTER, describing her experience on set and the bond she formed with co-star Sarah Paulson. "She's one of my very best friends in the world," Beatty said of Paulson. "To get to work together again is very special."
Beatty also spoke about the guidance she has received from her parents, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, touching on lessons that have shaped her approach to acting. Bening and Beatty have previously been spotted supporting fellow performers on Broadway, including a backstage visit to THE BALUSTERS at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
