UTA has signed Spanish actor Karla Sofía Gascón for representation.
Gascón plays the title role in Jacques Audiard’s film “Emilia Pérez,” for which she made history at the Cannes Film Festival in May as the first transgender woman to win the award for best actress. She shared the honor with co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz.
Gascón delivered an emotional acceptance speech, dedicating it to all transpeople “who suffer and must keep faith that changing is possible,” adding, “If you have made us suffer, it is time for you also to change.”
