Astra was a great villain for the first season of Supergirl, and her death midseason was a bit of a shocker. She could have lasted for a while as a big bad, with her power level being on par with Kara — not to mention their family connection. It was not to be, however, and actress Laura Benanti has since moved on to other projects.
You can still catch Benanti taking on several starring or secondary roles in both movies and television. She played Edie on the road trip comedy series The Detour, which ended after its fourth season at the end of 2019. She has a recurring bit on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as Melania Trump. She plays Quinn on the television show Younger, which is the longest running original show on the TV Land channel.
Benanti also has a few film roles you can catch her in. She has a secondary role in Worth, starring Michael Keaton and Stanley Tucci. You’ll also see her in the Billy Crystal-Tiffany Haddish comedy Here Today, slated for release in late 2020 or 2021.
