Greta — Haley Sanchez’s character on HBO Max’s Generation — might be the most realistic teenager on television. She’s close with her cool aunt, Ana , and has a complicated relationship with her mother, who has recently been detained by ICE. She’s awkward around the girl she likes, perpetually confused about whether or not their burgeoning friendship has romantic undertones. “This person exists out there.
And Barnz knows her characters, too: Sanchez remembers an incident in which a customer asked what kind of bra Greta might wear, and Barnz instantly replied that she’d opt for a bralette. “She just knew. She knew what these characters would be wearing, even if it was underneath the clothes,” Sanchez says.
“The relationship between her and her mom and even with Ana, I think that they’re both relationships that I feel are very relatable. [Her mom] has good intentions and she has a heart that’s really full of love and she’s trying her best to, in her mind, help her daughter,” Sanchez shares. She also teases that Greta’s friendship with Chester becomes one of the season’s most beautiful relationships.
Sanchez wasn’t exactly like Greta in high school: She says she came off as shy, yes, but wasn’t exactly as introverted. Still, she was able to draw from some of her own experiences. “When you meet a stranger for the first time, or maybe meet somebody that you’ve been wanting to meet for awhile, you kind of become this very interesting version of yourself,” says Sanchez.
