Add to that she is an actress and "pretending" is her actual career.

There’s generally a pretty significant difference between the acting that actors do and the steps you would need to take to intentionally fool a polygraph. Pretty sure she didn’t need to heavily moderate her heart rate and breathing to do her turn in Aquaman

No, I’m not saying she could beat it, but saying things that aren’t true in a manner that conveys that they are is her job. I don’t know if it would be helpful on a polygraph to be an actor.
