There are two Ani FaNellis in Luckiest Girl Alive. There’s the edgy magazine editor with an upcoming Nantucket wedding and gorgeous fiancé to match — and then there’s the sharp, unfiltered woman who seeps through in her inner monologues. The first is an image, meticulously crafted and honed to cover up the hurt and pain; the second is desperately trying to run from her past. Ahead, Mila Kunis explains how she approached playing such a complex character, and why she felt compelled to tell this story.
