Who plays Priscilla Masterson in Lucky?

Annette Bening plays Priscilla Masterson in Lucky. Her character is a dangerous mob leader who becomes one of the central forces driving Luciana “Lucky” Armstrong’s flight.

Bening’s Priscilla is part of the series’ three-way pursuit dynamic: Lucky is on the run, the FBI is tracking her, and Priscilla wants answers—and the money connected to the botched heist. That makes Priscilla more than a conventional supporting villain; she is a major figure in the show’s crime-thriller conflict.

Annette Bening is an acclaimed American actor whose film work includes American Beauty, The Grifters, The Kids Are All Right, and Being Julia. She has received multiple Academy Award nominations and has also worked extensively in theatre and television. Lucky places her in a notably hard-edged role as a crime boss.

A common mix-up is confusing Priscilla with the series’ protagonist, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, or with the FBI agent portrayed by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. Bening’s role is specifically Priscilla Masterson, while Timothy Olyphant plays John Armstrong, Lucky’s father.
