""And broad experience or no, there are still plenty of boxes she'd like to check as an actor. With her new Prime Video thriller series, The Girlfriend, she fulfilled one such goal: working with star and director Robin Wright. "She's formidable. I've loved her since I was conscious enough to know who she was and to watch Forrest Gump," Cooke says.""
""She's approached that spotlight with down-to-earth affability and some very relatable nerves, too, voicing her discomfort with celebrity and, recently, telling Jimmy Fallon that her first reaction to booking House of the Dragon was dread: \"Because then you have to do it, don't you?\" And while Cooke knows her tendency to be an open book can have its snags, it's also led to sweet moments - see: recently sharing a kiss withco-star Ralph Davis at Wimbledon.""
""Based on Michelle Frances' novel of the same name, the new series (now streaming in full) stars Cooke as Cherry, a young real estate agent dating a privileged Londoner, Daniel (Laurie Davidson). Daniel's mother, Laura (Wright), is suspicious of Cherry - and her doubts, not unfounded, soon give way to a tense, violent struggle between the two women. The series shifts between Cherry and Laura's points of view, illustrating how they experience key events (like their first meeting) in disparate ways.""
