Career

[edit]

She made her Broadway debut playing Sabina the maid in the revival of the Thorton Wilder play The Skin of Our Teeth at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in Lincoln Center.[4][5] Greg Evans of Deadline Hollywood described her performance as "terrifically funny especially when breaking character to reveal yet another character beneath".[6] For her performance she received a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play.[7] She also made brief appearances in TV shows such as the HBO comedy-drama series Succession, the Netflix political drama series House of Cards, and the Showtime series Ray Donovan.[5] She played Ana in the Roundabout Theatre Company's production of Jonah by Rachel Bond at the Laura Pels Theatre. For her performance she was nominated for the Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance. Adam Feldman of Time Out praised her performance writing, "[Beans] delivers another charismatic and varied star turn.
