“Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” star Rachel Brosnahan said that before she was cast in her current hit, she was told to change her look in Hollywood if she wanted to land roles.
“Early on, you get a lot of feedback on auditions . . . People give it to you like it is [the] Bible, like it is truth,” she said at a 92nd Street Y Q&A. “I’ve been told so many times I had to change my hair and learn to do my makeup and ‘buy different clothes’ . . . It starts to get into your head. And all those things are sometimes an attempt to fit a square peg into a round hole. The right thing will find you.”
She also commented about being featured on a Times Square billboard: “I think my parents felt like my college tuition was worth it, and it wasn’t just a hobby anymore.”
