Those who had the chance to watch Rian Johnson’s Knives Out sequel, “Glass Onion: Knockouts Mystery,” saw a hilarious, twisted murder story that showcased a killer’s talents over Thanksgiving weekend. For others, The Glass Onion is Netflix’s holiday season event, with a star-studded cast that includes returning Daniel Craig as Southern detective Benoit Blanc, along with Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monae , Dave Bautista, etc. This movie is a veritable showcase of some of the best talent in Hollywood, and Madeleine Klein has a place in that group as Dave Bautista’s hardcore influential girlfriend Whiskey.
Cline isn’t a household name like the rest of the cast, but she turns out to be a star in the role, showcasing her comedic skills. Whiskey is the twitch management assistant and girlfriend of Bautista male rights activist Duke Cody. Whiskey appears to have joined Duke’s ruse, hoping to use it to gain his own online fame. She also has a special relationship with Edward Norton’s Miles Brown, the billionaire who is the focus of the Glass Onion story. Saying more would spoil the fun and intrigue of Johnson’s gritty comedy-thriller.
It’s fitting that Cline’s breakout role on Netflix is the most important moment of her career to date. In 2017, Cline appeared on the second season of “Stranger Things” as Tina, a Hawkins high school student who develops an interest in freshman Billy Hargrove and hosts a Halloween event involving several of the main characters party. Considering what happened to Billy in Stranger Things 3, maybe it’s for the best that she never gets too close…
Meanwhile, in 2020, Klein starred in the Netflix teen drama Out of Banks as Sarah Cameron, a member of the wealthy “Cook” family who likes to mistake it for the lower class. “fool”. The series has been renewed for a third season and is set to premiere sometime in 2023.
Prior to her success on Netflix, Cline had a small role in the independent film Savannah Sunrise and appeared in the 2018 film starring Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Lucas Hedges. Transformational therapy drama “Boys Obliterated.” Crane played a friend who couldn’t save Hedges’ character from his own vices. Cline also starred in the HBO series Vice Principal, starring Danny McBride and Walton Goggins, as well as the five-season spinoff The Originals on The CW’s The Vampire Diaries. In 2021, she will appear in the film “This is the Night with Frank Grillo,” produced by Blumhouse. It is published digitally.
We’re sure Cline will have a solid résumé after Glass Onion. Given her relative unfamiliarity with audiences, the Whiskey role could prove to be a breakout role, leading to more film and TV credits, as well as more media attention (well, as shown here). You can watch Cline and the rest of the talented Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery now on Netflix.
