The following year Keough began pursuing her acting career, making her film debut in the supporting role of Marie Curie in the biographical drama “The Runaways”, based on the ’70s rock band of the same name. The following year she was cast in the lead role of patient Diane Nixon in the thriller film “The Good Doctor”, starring Orlando Bloom and Taraji P. Henson.

She also appeared in “The Discovery”, and most recently in “Welcome the Stranger” with Abbey Lee and Caleb Landry Jones, “Hold the Dark” directed by Jeremy Saulnier,, plus “The House That Jack Built” directed by Lars Von Trier, all currently in post-production. No doubt her net worth continues to grow.
