“We were all friends, and felt like a house that belonged to all of us,” she says. For much of the shoot, she had the run of the place, getting to know the staff well enough to pop in to the kitchen and grab food from the refrigerator. It also was Sweeney’s first time at an exclusive resort, giving her a front-row seat to a class divide that she’s still grappling with: balancing her lower-middle-class upbringing and the wealth-filled spaces she finds herself in now.

Sydney Sweeney was photographed July 15 at 1896 Studios and Stages in Brooklyn. But it gave everyone a camaraderie and depth of relationship that, particularly with Connie and Sydney, we could exploit for the show.” “I would look out from my balcony while working and see them having drinks. “To be honest, the shoot was more fun for the cast than for me,” show creator Mike White says with a laugh when asked to corroborate the set environment. Britton mentions during a phone call that she and Sweeney actually met for the first time in the pool at the Four Seasons. The sequestration was a COVID-protocol necessity but lent itself greatly to the project, giving the cast - fellow Emmy nominees Connie Britton (who plays her mother), Murray Bartlett, Jake Lacy, Steve Zahn, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario and Natasha Rothwell - a chance to immediately bond via what Sweeney describes as an idyllic routine of celebrating each day’s wrap with a sunset swim. White Lotus introduced a certain Eloise at the Plaza energy into her life: The HBO miniseries, a darkly satirical examination of white privilege at an upscale Hawaiian resort, was shot on location at the Four Seasons in Maui during the throes of the pandemic.

Over the course of her short career, she’s had to learn how to make herself at home pretty much anywhere.

Her loyalty proves to be valuable currency when, later, endless boxes full of designer fashion for this shoot start arriving at the happily accommodating front desk at record pace. The venue is different than the places one would expect to find burgeoning A-listers - the Sunset Tower it is not - but she’s become friends with the staff and even good-natured ribbing from friends and family hasn’t persuaded her to decamp for fancier pastures. Here on the rooftop of Sweeney’s favorite Manhattan hotel, though, we’re insulated from the chaos of midtown. I eventually learn that she’s preparing for the role with fight training, movement training and something called Reformacore Pilates, and that she was drawn to the film because she “liked the personal struggles that the character goes through.” She spends a lot of time talking about the cross-country road trip she took - with her mother and her rescue dog, Tank - to get to Boston and how she much prefers that city’s slower pace to New York’s frenetic nature. “I love to talk about everything,” noting the fact that it eats at her that she can’t open up about Madame Web.

I’ve been asking her about her time in the New England city in hopes of gleaning something - anything - about the highly secretive Spider-Man offshoot. She has just flown down from Boston to New York, where she’s spending several months in production for Marvel’s Madame Web movie, with very little publicly known about her character. We’re having breakfast in New York, three days after the Emmy nominations were announced she scored nods for both Euphoria (supporting actress in a drama) and The White Lotus (supporting actress in a limited series).
