What was it about this script that made you just know? I mean, it was a beautiful story. It had a wonderful character to play. And I just related on many levels. You know, there's many parallels between us, but I also felt like that was a great jumping off point that I could take this opportunity and really transform into this woman.

art forms that are suffering and coming to a crossroads and having to reinvent themselves. And that really resonated with me.
