well, it is a good stepping stone part, and don't forget a lot of well known actresses have played this part so it isn't really not a step down to anyone who plays it. i know it is not a huge lead role, but she would have learned with it.
i really understood what she said about the drama school audition she failed at the day she went to IDA pre auditions. fm, jackbauer (who i enjoy) or someone seemed to suggest that if she was good she would have gotten in. in London, actors come from all over and there are so many that come and they are really a dime a dozen, so to not get in does not mean you are awful perse, although it seems so at the time. i don't know how many she was up against but they only have so much room and it didn't mean she didn't have the approval of at least one teacher who was judging. i really know what i am talking about here. it is a tough, tough thing to get into a good school, especially in a huge city. some greats didn't get into drama school either and some big stars just got lucky breaks. it isn't always the be all and end all to go to uni for arts or drama schcool.
*woops went of on a tangent there.
