To get to the point that she is - she’s like, “I’m pregnant, and I’m having this kid in this really terrible world already” - I think it speaks to how connection is so important in this world. She’s just trying to live in this world and has been surviving up until this point.
Which is why she’s still here in this world, at least at this moment in time that we see her. I think, knowing that she and Marlene had known each other their whole lives, at least for me, I believe that that grit was already there for Anna. TVLINE | Do you think that her fierceness and grit is something she’s had for a long time? Or do you think she acquired these characteristics after the outbreak? TVLINE | It’s about six years after Outbreak Day when Anna gives birth. In the first game, I pitched it down just a little bit, knowing that she was 14 and young. I do voiceover but not a ton because I’m not one of those, like Troy Baker. Last of Us was not my first voiceover, but my first video game, first motion-capture. First off, from a practical standpoint, did you try to pitch your voice differently? Talk to me about coming in as Ellie’s mom. TVLINE | Obviously, you and your voice are baked into the DNA of this show. And when we were looking at the finale screener, he said, “When I heard Ashley’s voice drop the f-bomb, it made me emotional.” TVLINE | I have to tell you that our director of video, Jason Averett, is a Last of Us gamer from way back. TVLine spoke with the actress about literally birthing a character she creatively gave life to a decade ago. In a fun Easter Egg for those who played the 2013 Naughty Dog video game on which the series is based, Anna was portrayed by Ashley Johnson ( Blindspot), who voiced Ellie in The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II. (Read a full recap here, and hear about the episode from series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann here.) Though Marlene did not want to end her friend’s life, she eventually did. Knowing that she didn’t have much time left, Anna handed her baby over to her, then begged Marlene to kill her before she turned violent. Fortunately for Ellie, the bite took place before Anna cut her umbilical cord, which likely has something to do with Ellie’s immunity from the Cordyceps infection.Īnna’s old friend, Marlene, showed up shortly after the birth. Unfortunately for Anna, the infected managed to bite her before she killed it. Sunday’s season finale of HBO’s hit drama opened with a sequence that flashed back to Ellie’s birth, which took place as her mother, Anna, singlehandedly fought off a clicker in an empty farmhouse. Now we see where The Last of Us‘ Ellie gets it from.
