"It was kind of a joke," Ortega said during an interview on the "Tamron Hall Show" in 2021. "I remember at the time she didn't want me to be an actor - it's kind of funny how things turned out - but she just wasn't sure about putting me in that environment or this industry that she had heard such terrible things about. She posted it just as a joke for her friends, because her friends on Facebook knew I was very dramatic."
Ortega picked a 1995 French thriller called "La Haine," Stanley Kubrick's Oscar-winning 1975 movie "Barry Lyndon," a silent movie from 1928 called "The Passion of Joan of Arc," and a neo-western film from 1984 called "Paris, Texas." Ortega said she was particularly taken with "The Passion of Joan of Arc." "I feel like a dream character for me would be Joan of Arc," she said.
