- 0:12Speaker 1: based on a gritty pulp detective DC comic of the

- 0:31Speaker 1: directors for a role she didn't land, even when they
- 0:33Speaker 1: wouldn't volunteer it. She explained in a Hollywood Reporter roundtable.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I put my phone on voice Mammo and put it
- 0:38Speaker 1: in my bag. I do the audition, walk out and

- 0:48Speaker 1: was constructive. But she used everything they said, even the
- 0:51Speaker 1: negative stuff, to her advantage. And look it paid off.
