In The Twiight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Parts 1 and 2), Maggie Grace plays Irina Denali, a character she describes as “more or less, effectively, the villain” in the popular vampire series. “But I think it’s more of a misunderstanding, really,” Grace said in our exclusive interview.

While she would not divulge any more spoilers about the final installment in the Twilight Saga, Grace did dish on what it was like to film scenes with the cast and crew on location in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.

“That was a lot of fun — very stylized and a great experience overall. I made some great friends on that one,” she said, adding that the film’s picturesque shooting locale made for some great downtime. “We went cross-country skiing a lot when we were up in Squamish shooting. So that was the best, although you do tend to arrive to set already exhausted, so you have to be careful with which days you do that.”
