Kiernan went on to say that she was too young to realize what was going on at the time. “I didn’t know anything else,” Kiernan explained. “That’s what I did.

But looking back, I go, ‘Yeah, well, that was really intense.” Kiernan also appreciates now how fortunate she was to play Sally. “I got really lucky as a kid.

Just to be trusted with the performance and not really doubted,” Kiernan shared. “And I think in turn, I just didn’t really doubt myself and I found my abilities in ways that I might not have if they were stifled or people tried to shape or shift them in some kind of way.” “They let me be on that set,” Kiernan added, “and I’m so thankful for that.” Kiernan will next be appearing in HBO’s new show White House Plumbers, which premieres on May 1 – watch the trailer here!
