Whitney Able, an American actress and model, has graced numerous cover pages and is best known for her roles in horror movies such as All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and Monsters. Recently, she appeared in a new western called Godless. Let’s dive into five fascinating facts about this talented actress.
A Passion for the Spanish Language
Whitney Able has expressed her love for the Spanish language. Born in Houston, Texas, she has lived in both Mexico and Spain, giving her ample experience with the language and a deep appreciation for the culture.
Her Acting Debut in Age of Kali
Able made her acting debut in 2005 with a low-budget movie called Age of Kali. Contrary to its name, the film has no connection to the Hindu goddess Kali. Instead, it explores the lives of people on the fringes of society, searching for answers to existential mysteries. Although Age of Kali didn’t gain much attention, it marked the beginning of a series of roles for Able, including Rodney, Secrets of a Small Town, and Dead Lenny.
Breakout Role in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
Able’s breakout role came in 2006 when she portrayed Chloe in the horror movie All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. The film revolves around the titular character, Mandy Lane, an outcast at her high school due to her shyness but who garners attention because of her looks. Mandy is invited to spend the weekend at a ranch house by some popular high school students, including Chloe, who appears to be an “air-headed blonde” but exhibits signs of deep insecurity. As the story unfolds, the students find themselves targeted by a killer.
Marriage to Her Monsters Co-Star
Monsters is a sci-fi horror movie centered around the emergence of extra-terrestrial life-forms in the US-Mexico border after a NASA probe searching for alien life crash lands there. The entire region is quarantined, and an American photojournalist is tasked with escorting his boss’s daughter through the dangerous area. Scoot McNairy, who played the male lead, convinced director Gareth Edwards to cast Able as the female lead. The two later married in 2010 and have been together ever since.
Her Role as Anna McNue in Godless
Recently, Able portrayed Anna McNue in the Netflix western Godless. The show features a town called La Belle, which has a higher female population than male due to a collapse in the silver mine. The women of the town enjoy more independence than most women of that era, but their position is threatened by outlaws and mining companies. Whitney Able’s captivating performance in Godless is yet another testament to her acting prowess and versatility.
