My Take
Ashley Benson is easy to underestimate as just the Pretty Little Liars star, but I think that sells her short. A competitive dancer from age three who climbed up through soap work on Days of Our Lives, she has the discipline and instincts of someone who put in real reps. What I respect is her appetite for risk; pivoting from a glossy teen-drama image into the raw, divisive territory of Spring Breakers showed she was not content to coast on charm. I am drawn to attractive performers who deliberately complicate their own image, and Benson keeps doing exactly that.
