She worked long and hard for a leading lady part

Old Hollywood

What A++ list actress who is best known for starring in a comedy franchise didn’t get her A++ list status overnight.

She worked long and hard for a leading lady part, spending several years in the doldrums of B-movies.

She also said she avoided the casting coach entirely, although the boss of the first studio she was under contract to bragged otherwise.

The actress refuted his claims with “he made a game of chasing me around his office until I threw one of my high heel shoes at him to make him stop. He was so full of shit.”
