Oscar winner Anna Paquin’s character remains mostly silent throughout Martin Scorsese’s buzzy crime drama “The Irishman,” and that’s just fine with her costar Robert De Niro. Paquin delivers a total of seven lines during the three-plus-hour film as Peggy Sheeran, mafia hitman Frank Sheeran’s traumatized daughter. “She was very powerful and that’s what it was,” De Niro recently told USA Today. Even Paquin defended Scorsese’s choices on social media shortly after the Oscar hopeful hit theaters. https://t.co/yx54jE4ugy — Anna Paquin (@AnnaPaquin) November 9, 2019“The Irishman,” also starring Joe Pesci and Al Pacino, is now streaming on Netflix and is still in select theaters.
