The wednesdayaddams breakout star on working with jennaortega and Tim Burton—and her character’s icy style.
“It’s pretty wild, because I’m still living my normal life, as normal as it could be,” the 27-year-old native New Yorker toldover the phone. “[I’m] talking to my friends and my family, my loved ones, while also understanding that loads of people have seen my face. It’s a hard equation to solve.”, which stars Ortega as the insouciant, morbid-obsessed daughter of the Addams family, takes place at Nevermore Academy, a Hogwarts-adjacent boarding school for the supernaturally gifted.
“From the onset, when I got the audition, I recognized the heart that was in Bianca,” Sunday says. “Specifically, because of one of the scenes—my confrontation with Xavier pretty early on in his room. The other was my scene with Wednesday at the Rave-N. I could immediately tell they were looking for someone to really capture the sincerity of Bianca's desire to be loved.
“We have a complex set of characters across the board, and I appreciate the conversations that are happening, because it’s not like they exist in a vacuum,” Sunday says. “They come from a lot of characters and portrayals that have come before this show. I appreciate them because they are what got me to this position, but I’m waiting for the conversation to evolve past this point now.”
As for working with Burton and Ortega, Sunday praised both, saying, “I honestly might have interacted more with Tim than I did with Jenna.” In addition to being praised for her layered performance, Sunday has gained a following for her unique style, which she herself calls “narrative and fluid.” She says, “I love telling stories with my clothes, which is why I can never say that I have a specific style. I just always love knowing what story I’m telling when I step out.
