But many families do not want to take a chance sheltering Jewish children (so convents and orphanages must be found), and the Jewish parents are reluctant to give up their children. Irena wants to at least save the children, who can be taught to pretend they are Christian or even convert. Irena's job involves helping these people in whatever ways she can. Nearly half a million Jews from Poland and elsewhere have been moved to the Warsaw ghetto, and they are about to be moved again-to places with names like Treblinka and Auschwitz. Rarely were women in charge of anything important in those days.

Some of Anna’s recent TV projects include The Affair and Flack, while her line-up of work on the big screen has seen her make appearances in everything from Furlough, The Parting Glass, Tell It to the Bees, and the Martin Scorsese-directed flick, The Irishman, in 2019.In this fact-based story set in 1941 Poland, Irena Sendler is in charge of social services for Warsaw, which is unusual in itself. Still, Anna went on to tell Yahoo that she was still happy to reunite with some of her former cast members seeing that she's known them since filming the first film back in 2000, which include the likes of Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and many more.

Her appearance in the film would have tremendously helped her star power after having just concluded the final series of True Blood at the time, but things simply didn’t work out as she expected.

In 2014, Anna had reprised her role a Rogue for 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, but by the time the film hit cinemas, the director, Bryan Singer, had cut most of her scenes out due to the movie already being too long for its theatrical version, which consequently meant she pretty much showed up to work for nothing. Hence, the idea of having to move from project-to-project every few months isn’t always the best idea when trying to establish a sustainable role. She failed to mention that not all roles come with lucrative deals - particularly if she’s working on a brand new show.

When all was said and done, instead of focusing her attention back on the big screen, Anna kept her eye on television show pilots, which led her to take on the lead role in the Canadian series Bellevue, and while critics gave it plenty of praise, the CBC network still ended up canceling it after its first run. True Blood was so successful, it even earned Anna a Golden Globe win for her work as Sookie Stackhouse in 2009, but since the show wrapped in 2014, it’s no secret that the actress hasn’t had that much luck landing anything as notable as her work on the HBO show.
