Reply #82: I got cast in a show because of a dress like that

[Patiod]

A local theater was doing "Hay Fever", and the director had already designed an amazing black dress for Myra (which is a really nice juicy part), and was casting based on who was going to look good in the dress!

Another girl read MUCH better for Myra than I did, but she was 5' and I am 5'11", so he cast me. First and ONLY time my height HELPED me get a part (usually lost out to shorter girls).

The dress was modest in the front, bt cut in the back all the way down to just above my tailbone, and I have never gotten more positive attention for a piece of clothing in my life. Men in the audience actually whistled at me!

I tried to steal it, but the director was waiting for me to hend it over immediately after the last curtain call. Damn!
