Zoey Deutch is to this generation what her mother, Lea Thompson, was to the 80s: a leading lady with girl-next-door charm and a knack for comedy. Born into Hollywood—her father is Pretty in Pink director Howard Deutch—Zoey has been on-screen since she was a tween. From Disney’s teen sitcom The Suite Life on Deck to Richard Linklater’s college comedy, Everybody Wants Some!!, and her recent thriller, Juror #2, her roles have grown with her. This fall, Deutch made her Broadway debut in Kenny Leon’s revival of Our Town, acting alongside Katie Holmes and Jim Parsons. The production is a must-see before it closes in late January. To celebrate the play, Deutch shares her least favorite things. —Carolina de Armas

Least favorite team: If I don’t say the Los Angeles Clippers, I will be in trouble with my boyfriend.
Preferred deadly sin: Lust.
