Hannibal Lecter called her "countrywoman" and "ambitious", but saw in her an enemy as small as she was insightful.
Such was the plot of the film The Silence of the Lambs with Anthony Hopkins (inspired by the novel by Thomas Harris), although in the Clarice series (which will premiere on Rai 2 from April 9), it does not there is never any mention of the cannibal serial killer.
Rebecca Breeds, the 33-year-old Australian actress protagonist of this new chapter, explains the reason for this omission via Zoom.
She is the one who now dons the uniform of FBI agent Clarice Starling and thus inherits the role that earned Jodie Foster the second Oscar of her career.
