And as the Chicago actress tells E! News, many changes are to be expected, including her character. “I’m not playing a character that was in those movies,” she explained. “Well, I just had a lot of fun. I just had fun.”

Mentioning that the role is “right up my alley” as she’s also a history buff as she’s “just looking for treasure all the time. I am always an antique dealer.”
