In BBC's latest limited series "Conversations With Friends," based on the Sally Rooney book of the same name, Sasha Lane stars Bobbi. She's built up a good résumé in the years since she burst onto the scene in 2016's "American Honey." Andrea Arnold, the film's producer, discovered her while out partying with her friends, but she was just a teen. When Arnold approached Lane on the beach in Florida during spring break and asked her to attend the film, which is about a group of teenagers who sell magazines from door to door as they travel around the country. "I didn't know anything about acting," Lane wrote The Guardian. "I began to feel relaxed as we started improving." It seems that now it's all overwhelming, but at the time, I felt I could do anything because [Arnold] gave me this sense of hope in myself."
