She has been a prominent figure in Hollywood for years, but only after her appearance in the HBO anthology series did she receive the recognition she deserved. Her breakthrough role was a minor yet unforgettable part of the show. 

Alexandra Daddario’s role in ‘True Detective’ was sexually explicit, but she handled it with grace and patience. She was waiting for an opportunity to show audiences that she’s more than just eye candy for HBO viewers. 

Daddario was early interested in the entertainment industry and studied professional acting in school before appearing in ‘True Detective’ in her late 20s. 

Unfortunately, the film and its 2013 sequel, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, received criticism for being too similar to the Harry Potter films. Both movies share a director Chris Columbus, and feature a trio of teenagers, two boys and one girl, who encounter magic and alternate worlds. 

Soon after, Daddario’s career moved away from teen fantasy, where she began, and she began appearing in horror films such as ‘Bereavement’ and ‘Texas Chainsaw.’ Alexandra Daddario made a guest appearance on FX’s ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.’ She drove four hours overnight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to audition for the role, as she is a self-proclaimed huge fan of the show.

In 2013, she was announced as a cast member of HBO’s new anthology series, ‘True Detective.’ The season’s cast included veterans like Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Michelle Monaghan. 

After ‘True Detective,’ she was offered many opportunities, but she expected little from the series at the time. She saw the role as just another job.

She credits her work on ‘True Detective’ for significantly increasing the number of opportunities she received in Hollywood. As a result, she found herself auditioning for more adult-oriented films. Weeks after her appearance on ‘True Detective,’ Alexandra Daddario was cast as one of the leads in the 2015 action movie ‘San Andreas,’ starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. 

In 2017, she reunited with Johnson for the film adaptation of the iconic television series ‘Baywatch.’

Alexandra Daddario remained busy after her roles in ‘Baywatch’ and ‘The Layover.’ However, it wasn’t until 2020 that she caught the attention of film critics once again. In ‘Lost Girls & Love Hotels,’ Daddario stars as Margaret, an American teacher living in Tokyo who falls in love with a member of the Yakuza. 

Alexandra Daddario felt like her career was stagnating after ‘Baywatch.’ However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the entire entertainment industry to shut down productions across the globe. Like many other celebrities, Daddario took this opportunity to reach out to her audience and began posting vlogs on YouTube featuring herself, her roommates, and their various quarantine activities.

Finally, she got to lead her TV show with Mayfair Witches.

Alexandra Daddario has transformed from a forgotten actress to a talented television star. 

She stars in AMC’s adaptation of Anne Rice’s ‘Mayfair Witches,’ following up on Season 1 of another Rice adaptation, ‘Interview with the Vampire.’ 

With her experience adapting books to the screen in the ‘Percy Jackson films, her ability to capture audiences in ‘True Detective,’ and her skill at connecting with viewers in ‘The White Lotus,’ ‘Mayfair Witches appear to be the ideal culmination of her work. However, why did it take so long?
