Lavey, artistic director of Steppenwolf, recalled Brosnahan as being "very present." (That spring Brosnahan was also up for a role on a CBS pilot but turned it down for the chance to act with Steppenwolf.) Jones called Brosnahan's performance "guileless" and "long on charm and honesty and short on cutesy contrivance." In 2009, Brosnahan booked a role in Steppenwolf's "Up," playing a pregnant teenager opposite Martha Lavey. She approached her work in a very no-nonsense way and without fear." There was just something ingrained and organic about Rachel. Rachel had "a maturity and a commitment to the process of acting that very few kids have at 16," Dibo said. Brosnahan's dedication to the craft was apparent from their first meeting, Dibo said. When Brosnahan was 16, she took a class with Carole Dibo, director of Wilmette's Actors Training Center and now Brosnahan's manager. She did it all on her own, and we were really just in the background." "She wanted to teach herself from the beginning. "She is very self-motivated and always has been," her mother Carol Brosnahan said. As a teen, she saved her baby-sitting money to attend Broadway Bootcamp, an acting camp. While they were supportive, they didn't exactly encourage her to focus on acting, they said. Neither of Brosnahan's parents noted a serious interest in performance until she was in Northwood Junior High School's musicals, they said during a phone interview. I found I could so easily imagine those worlds." "I think there was something about that imagining that made me want to act. "I would listen to these amazing narrators (telling) these stories using all different voices, and I used to imagine what the worlds would look like," she said. The final season of “House of Cards” is now streaming on Netflix.Born in Milwaukee, but raised in Highland Park since age 4, Brosnahan points to the books on tape her mother used to play as she fell asleep for giving her an actor's imagination.
And you know, there’s that final look of Claire’s at the end.”

“It was a little bit of a bookend to where the series started,” the showrunner said, “With Francis mercy-killing the dog and then looking at us and embarking on that relationship with us. Gibson previously spoke about the finale choices and similarly referenced the show’s pilot where Frank murders a dog. He’s no longer having to live this life that he’s lived.” Going back to episode one of the show when Frank said that to the dog, ‘There, no more pain.’ For him, that’s it. “For Doug, there is a certain sense of relief,” Kelly said. While the big finale twist is proving polarizing, Kelly stands by Doug’s death. “But to definitively say good-bye to the character, it felt good in a way.

“It’s upsetting to definitively say good-bye to something because even though the show is over, something can happen years later, whether it’s a movie or a spinoff or this or that,” Kelly said.
When the Claire twist was revealed, Kelly said it was “another big range of emotions.” Showrunners Frank Pugliese and Melissa James Gibson originally only told Kelly that Doug was Frank’s killer, not that Doug would wind up being a victim of murder himself.
