Laverne Cox is one of the most open actresses in Hollywood. An advocate for LGBT rights and star of the series «Orange Is the New Black» on Netflix, the 52-year-old Laverne is promoting her new series Clean Slate on Prime Video and recently shared how difficult it was to revisit traumatic moments from her childhood during filming. «Sometimes, to get to the truth about something really deep, raw, and catastrophic, to make it real, you have to re-traumatize yourself, you have to be a trigger», - she told PEOPLE in an interview published on February 7. «But the secret is how to get out of it».
She continued, describing how sincere performance can evoke empathy from viewers. «If you have life experience that poses challenges, you can put it into your art», - she explained. «And then, perhaps, people watching it who may be going through the same thing will understand that they are not alone. It fosters empathy. And it’s a gift to be an artist and experience horrible things, in that, perhaps, I can use it in my work and show someone else that they are not alone».
