Millicent Simmonds, a Utah native known for her role in the A Quiet Place franchise, recently trained with Ballet West Academy in preparation for her new role in Pretty Lethal. The ballet was a challenge for Simmonds as she was more of a soccer girl, but she became more comfortable with ballet through her teachers. Evelyn Cisneros-Legate, the director of the Frederick Quinney Lawson BalletWest Academy, said Simmonds absorbed the art of ballet and enjoyed it.
