“When I moved to Hollywood, I had my bachelor’s degree. And when I told my mom, ‘I’m going to be an actress,’ she was fine, because I had graduated college. Like, as long as I had finished college. So, I knew I could get a job. I was like, ‘well, I’ll get a job.’ I went to a temp agency and they hired me. I was so good at it, that when I got the Young and the Restless, it didn’t pay enough for me to live off being an actor. So I continued being a headhunter and [filming] the Young and the Restless.”
Wow!
That’s commendable. It takes some severe drive to do this!!
But it’s what she mentioned subsequent — feedback during which she actually very clearly shaded the mainstay cleaning soap collection — that basically pissed some folks off:
“I would hide the fact that I was on the Young and the Restless to my clients, because they didn’t want, like, a dumb actress handling their accounts. One time, one of my clients was like, ‘you look like a girl I’ve seen on a soap opera.’ And I was like, ‘no, that’s not me, I don’t know who that is.’ I was like the opposite of a publicist’s dream. I was like, ‘don’t tell anybody I’m on that show.’ Because I was still making more money on my day job.”
Uh oh! Not a fantastic factor to chunk the hand that feeds ya, because the saying goes. After all, it was one of many locations the place the longtime A-lister first acquired her Hollywood begin. Ya know??
