During a round of “Dicey Questions” at Collider’s Women’s Night, Nemiroff asked Soberano her top question: What’s your favorite scary movie?

“I’d love to be in one. I always say this, and knock on wood, I’ve always wanted to die on screen. I’ve never, like, really died on screen. I had a show in the Philippines where they killed me three times but they brought me back to life three times, so I’m not officially dead yet.”
