The Craft's Rachel True on being excluded from cast reunions: "Sounds about white"
The Craft is a movie about four teenagers who toy around with witchcraft and face the consequences. Attend a convention celebrating the film, however, and you might notice only three of its stars playing Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board. Rachel True, who starred in the film alongside Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk, and Robin Tunney, has called out conventions for booking her co-stars and not her. “Sounds about white,” she wrote in a Twitter thread about the trend.
In the thread, True makes it clear that this isn’t the first time she’s been left out of Craft-related events. After lamenting “a Hollywood lifetime of sucking up racist aggressions,” she recalled an MTV awards show where the other three actresses presented an award while she sat in the audience, uninvited.
“[B]eing left out of these events didn’t just hurt ego,” she wrote, “it had a direct effect on POC actors pocket books & public profiles & level of celebrity.”
