Yellowjackets fame

Juliette starred in mystery thriller series Yellowjackets between November 2021 and May 2023. She portrayed character Natalie Scatorccio, a plane crash survivor who is haunted by painful secrets.

The actress was widely appreciated for her performance by critics and fans alike but she chose to depart the show after two seasons.


Speaking about her inclusion in the show, she expressed: "I was so in fear of being typecast that I worried people wouldn't know what goes into a character like this. Natalie is nothing like myself.

"But because there's certain things, like 'tough' and 'wrong side of the tracks' or whatever, people think it's something I've played before, but I haven't."
