Did you know?!
First role
LaVera got her start as a body double, standing in for Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula on M. Night Shyamalan's Split, and the experience pushed her to act full time.
Big break
LaVera tried out for Sienna Shaw in Damien Leone's slasher film Terrifier 2, released in 2022, and the part turned into her breakthrough role. Leone had no other actress in mind for it.
A role that slipped away
After playing Sienna in the Terrifier films, LaVera was offered parts she judged too close to that character and turned them down.
Languages
LaVera took an Italian voice-over cameo in Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck, the adaptation of Stephen King's 2020 novella.
