Tracey Heggins on Playing Senna in ‘Breaking Dawn - Part 2′

Posted July 3rd, 2012 By: Evie No Comments »

We’ll soon be seeing Tracey Heggins in the upcoming Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 this November, in her role as Senna, one of the vampires of the Amazon coven. Here Celebuzz asks Tracey about her role, what is was like on the set of Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and what is was like to work with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Mackenzie Foy. Read more below:

CB: Tell us about your role in the movie.

TH: I play the role of Senna, the oldest vampire. I come from the frame of reference where Zafrina, my vampire sister, has hooked me up again in some kind of situation and I’m here now. And all of the sudden, I want to help and defend these people [Cullens]. I’m very excited, because Senna loves to fight. She loves to kick butt and take names. I don’t want to give too much away, but Senna is ready to go.

CB: Mackenzie Foy plays Bella and Edward’s child, Renesmee. What was the dynamic like with her on set?

TH: She is so genuine. Mackenzie is a real live little girl. Every time she was on set, we all doted around her. She has that kind of sweet spirit, and I can see how she booked it because it just comes through.

CB: What was it like working with stars like Robert and Kristen?

TH: It was good because they were both really down to earth. It’s very scary to go off on a set with huge names. I mean, when you are number one on IMDB, it’s a little intimidating. But they were just cool, and Kristen was like a tomboy and was so down to earth. Rob was the same way. He actually has this almost self-deprecating, ‘Oh, did I just say that?’ And I understand why he did that because it made everyone else feel so comfortable. So thank you, Robert!

CB: What was your favorite thing about playing Senna?

TH: She’s strong and quiet. I just think that with a strong, quiet person, she is thoughtful, too. I like playing people that are like that. There are a lot of maternal things going on with these girls [Senna and Zafrina] that Bella and Edward would want their help and have them around. Playing that role of Senna is just an honor. It’s an honor to be a part of this, and I have no complaints at all.
