Spoilers for episode 1 and 2 of Lucky ahead. If there’s one thing Annette Bening knows, it’s playing interesting — some might say unlikeable — women. The two-time Oscar nominee and award-winning actress has a career spanning over four decades and has tackled plenty of complex female characters in that time. First, it was as con artist Myra Langtry in 1990s The Grifters, then it was as a mother trying to connect with her teenage son in 2016’s 20th Century Women, more recently, Bening has graced the silver screen as Beula Jackson, a tough-as-nails rival ranch owner, in Yellowstone spin-off Dutton Ranch. And now, Bening is returning to screens once again as mob matriarch Priscilla Matheson in Apple TV+’s Lucky.
