After acting in successful films like White Lotus and Euphoria, the 26-year-old actress is currently in high demand in Los Angeles. She just produced and acted in the independent horror film Immaculate, which is only one of three feature films she has released in the past six months.
But the seasoned producer Carol Baum, who particularly mentioned Sweeney after a movie screening, criticized the Emmy-nominated actress, saying, “She’s not pretty; she can’t act.” Why does she have so much heat?”
At a Pleasantville, New York, event, Baum—who has produced over 30 films, including Jeremy Irons’ Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Father of the Bride—spoke in front of a live audience alongside Janet Maslin, the film critic for the New York Times. Dead Ringers, Baum’s 1988 film, was screened after the event.
A spokesman for Sweeney responded to the remarks by telling News, “How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses to attack another woman instead.”
