As she told Italian Reve, her ultimate goal is to combine her love of dancing with her acting career. “I trained as a dancer originally and was sort of heading into the musical theater; I love films, and one day being able to do musical theater on film, maybe, would be an absolute dream,” she said. Bridgerton musical season, anyone?
You may have seen Dodd onscreen before
Dodd may be an unfamiliar face to many of us, but she has actually been acting for a few years. She landed her first role as Sophia on Harlots in 2018. That year, she also landed the leading role of Thea on Hulu’s Find Me in Paris, which saw her playing a ballet dancer.
More recently, Dodd has appeared in a streak of impressive projects, including Chloé Zhao’s Eternals; Anatomy of a Scandal, in which she played a young version of Sienna Miller’s character; and Enola Homes 2.
Dodd was thrilled to win the role of Francesca Bridgerton
Naturally, joining the Bridgerton family was a dream come true for Dodd. “It was all kept quite secret, so I had no idea that it was actually Bridgerton that I was going in for until the day of my meeting with the Shondaland team,” she said to Fabric. “They let me know just before, which was kind of terrifying, but also good, because it meant that I just had to kind of go in, and be present, and respond to what they were asking for. I’ve never not known what I was going in for before—I think it’s just because this is such a big show, lots of secrecy around storylines and stuff like that. I love prep, I love to really go into that room and feel like I know the character, and that I’ve done everything I can do, so it was definitely a different way of working for me.”
