Part 2/10:
At just 11 years old, she auditioned for the role of Melody, facing a panel that included prominent figures like Alan Parker, David Puttnam, and others involved in the production. The audition process was informal; she recalls walking into a room full of industry veterans, not knowing what to expect, simply trying to do her best. She humorously remembers one of the actors, Mark Lester—famous for Oliver!—mocking he would go to the toilet, which elicited laughs and may have contributed to her getting the part.
