Anna Kendrick made the charitable decision to give all of the money made from her most recent Netflix movie.
The actress is the lead in Netflix’s Woman of the Hour, a film that chronicles a series of murders carried out by infamous serial murderer Rodney Alcala. She is most recognized for her part in the 2012 blockbuster Pitch Perfect.
At least eight women were stalked and killed by Alcala in the 1970s, but investigators believe the number is far lower. The predator may also have been responsible for 122 additional murders.
Woman of the Hour centers on a single aspect of Alcala’s life: his appearance on the television program The Dating Game, when he attempted to capture the affections of Sheryl, a young woman played by Kendrick.

The 39-year-old talked candidly about the significance of making this movie on a recent episode of the Crime Junkie AF podcast.
“This was never a money-making venture for me,” she stated. “Netflix eventually purchased the film. However, I didn’t realize this movie would be profitable until the week before the Toronto International Film Festival.
But that’s when her conscience began to take over.
This made me ask myself, ‘Do you feel gross about this?’ And I did,” the graduate of Self Reliance added.
Therefore, I’m not profiting from the film. Kendrick continued, “The funds are going to – or have gone to – RAINN and the National Center for Victims of Violent Crime,” mentioning two of the biggest nonprofits in the US dedicated to sexual assault.
“That felt like the least that I could do,” she said.
Online reviews of the event have already been very positive, with many praising Kendick’s performance and her generosity following the release of the film on the streaming service.
Wow, that’s really rather admirable of her. One user on X said, “I love when celebrities give back to good causes instead of hoarding money… especially for such important organizations.”
Another person said, “What a generous way to make an impact,”
“Anna Kendrick made an amazing move! A third person said, “Her dedication to helping victims of crime is demonstrated by her donation of her earnings to such significant causes.”
Additionally, this individual made the observation that “Anna Kendrick decided to devote her life to helping victims.”
After creating her most recent film, Kendrick talked candidly about her own experiences with an abusive partner.
The fact that everyone is acting as though nothing is wrong can often be just as painful as the disrespect or maltreatment. which then persuades you that anything isn’t taking place,” she said in a recent interview with the Independent.
She went on, “It makes you wonder if you’re being overly sensitive or paranoid, or if you’re just making this up.” “You sound insane. You’re fired. “It’s nothing that he brushed your hair off your shoulder.”
“And yet when you’re there, you can feel the threat that’s hanging in the room,” she continued.
