Intellectual transformation required for part

Madison explained that she did not need to physically resemble the real-life whistleblower. Director Aaron Sorkin specifically wanted her to embody the character through other means instead. She described the process as an intellectual transformation involving significant restraint in how the character processes emotions.

Personal life outside of filming

The actress spends most of her time baking or with family and pets when not working. Her menagerie includes two donkeys, three Chihuahuas, and a cat. Madison admitted she once wondered if owning such animals made her seem too crazy or unhinged.
