Florence Pugh says being made an executive producer on Netflix's East of Eden was a turning point for her confidence as an actress.
Florence Pugh talks about how her East of Eden collaboration with Zoe Kazan boosted her confidence, and Kazan explains why she was right for Cathy.
Florence Pugh spoke at the New York premiere of the Netflix limited series East of Eden about what the project meant to her career.
