Irish actress Dominique McElligott breathes life into her character

Most actors live in fear of getting the dreaded script where they open the pages to discover their character has been killed off. Not so for Irish actress Dominique McElligott, who requested that producers on her new series allow her a fatal exit if she didn’t settle into the show.
She plays Kathleen Moore in Amazon’s new series, The Last Tycoon. Her character becomes romantically involved with top Hollywood studio executive Monroe Stahr (Matt Bomer) who is wrestling for control of the studio run by his boss, Pat Brady (Kelsey Grammer). The story is based loosely on the novel by F Scott Fitzgerald.
