Did you think she was up to the job?
I assumed because she was there and she was hired, she was up for the job.

The second week of filming, some members of the crew said they were starting to have concerns with how weapons were being handled on the set.
Saturday, October 16th was a big day on set.
There were several major shootouts scheduled to be filmed that day.
The prop master, Sarah Zachary, was loading the gun.
The gun was pointed down, and it went off in her hands.
It definitely caused a commotion on set.
Several people I talked to described it as something that upset people.
There was, you know, a sound, and it was unexpected.
There is no projectile in the gun.
It's just a bang and some smoke.
Sarah did self-report what had happened.
There was another accidental discharge on this Saturday, and Alec Baldwin's stunt double had this missed fire with a gun.
When you hear about something like two accidental discharges of weapons, guns going off, that's serious business.
The Rust production team told ABC News, the safety of our cast and crew is the top priority of Rust Productions.
Rust producers say they never received any official complaints regarding weapons or prop safety on set.
Rust Productions declined to comment specifically on the accidental discharges.
I never saw anything that was, in my mind, unsafe ever.
