Linda Cardellini is in the middle of one of the busiest stretches of her career. The actress won her first Emmy in September, then moved straight into horror as Pamela Voorhees in Crystal Lake. With a new Apple TV film arriving later this month, her fall schedule is full.
Linda Cardellini Wins First Emmy for DTF St. Louis
