Actress Marisa Abela has experienced growing success over the past few years, thanks in large part to her breakout role on the hit HBO series “Industry” and her acclaimed performance as Amy Winehouse in the biopic “Back to Black.” In a recent interview, Abela opened up about her experiences on both projects and where her career is headed next.

Abela plays Yasmin Kara-Hanani, a privileged yet vulnerable young banker, on “Industry.” Now in its third season, the show details the intense competition between graduates vying for slots at a top London investment bank. Abela remarked that her character and the overall scope of the show’s storytelling has expanded significantly as the series has progressed. “As [Yasmin] has gotten stronger in asserting herself, there are parts of me that have done the same,” she noted.

The actress also spent months in extensive preparation to portray the late singer Amy Winehouse in “Back to Black.
