“I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but luckily I got an opportunity to redirect and try to correct some of those,” said Maclin, who was incarcerated for more than 15 years for armed robbery. “I would like to be able to show this in every prison in the country and do a question and answer.

“The whole experience was great fun,” Quinn said. “I learned a lot from Lupita and the way to conduct oneself in an environment like that. She’s punctual, brave, fearless and knows exactly what she wants and what she doesn’t want.”ABBEY LEE IN “HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA” The Australia native worked as a model for years before she had a few big acting breakthroughs, notably in “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Modeling gave her opportunities to travel, and get a paycheck, but it always felt like a job, she said.
