House of Cards’ Robin Wright explains why she had to play her controlling character in new thriller The Girlfriend

It was Kevin Spacey, her co-star, who was let go from the show after sexual assault accusations (that were later found to be unsubstantiated). At the time, many viewers and critics questioned how the widely acclaimed Netflix series could proceed without its Academy Award-winning lead actor. In retrospect, those concerns appear quite unfounded. This actress had already starred as Buttercup in the beloved film The Princess Bride during her early twenties. Within a decade, she had risen to global fame due to her performance as Jenny in Forrest Gump.
