INGEBORGA DAPKUNAITE TALKS TO SPYHARDS PODCAST ABOUT PLAYING HANNA IN DE PALMA'S MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE
In a terrific episode of the SpyHards Podcast, "Agents Scott and Cam welcome actress Ingeborga Dapkunaite to the show to talk about playing ill-fated IMF agent Hannah in 1996's Mission: Impossible. She also shares stories about working on Red Sparrow, Seven Years in Tibet and more."
Discussing the Visco glasses worn by several IMF agents in the opera gala sequence, Dapkunaite tells the podcast hosts, "You know, the glasses, those days, thirty years ago, they were miracle glasses - they literally go dark...and blank."
"Oh, those were a real thing...?" one of the hosts responds.
"Yes, they were the real thing," Dapkunaite confirms.
"Oh, I thought that was just an effect," he says.
"They were the real thing," she assures him. "We carried them as if they were, I don't know, made of diamonds. Which probably, they cost that much. And Tom [Cruise] was very very cool about it. Very proud and all that. So we all played with them."
