In fact, one of my very first press days was for  Atom Egoyan ’s  Chloe , which Seyfried headlines alongside  Julianne Moore . With every press day that followed, I was constantly struck by Seyfried’s general warmth and her passion for her work, but especially by her openness while talking about it. About 25 years into her career, I’m still wowed by those same qualities, but a new one surfaced during our latest conversation, our very first  Collider Ladies Night   interview. It’s the importance Seyfried puts on being there for actors on the rise, like her  The Housemaid  co-star,  Sydney Sweeney . The two star in the highly anticipated adaptation of  Freida McFadden ’s incredibly popular novel. Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman who accepts a job working as a housemaid for Seyfried’s character, Nina Winchester, and her family. Initially, it seems like a dream gig. The Winchester home is beautiful and Nina appears to be a lovely employer. However, on day one of the job, things take a turn. Or rather, Nina takes a turn. In celebration of  The Housemaid ’s release this weekend, and  The Testament of Ann Lee ’s upcoming rollout, Seyfried joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to discuss the experiences that led her to this moment — a truly exceptional moment during which she has two wildly different films hitting theaters at about the same time, both featuring breathtaking work from her.
