I’m from New York. And I don’t smile on command.’ And Penny Marshall said, ‘It’s called acting, honey.’”
“The thing is, it’s like, she was right,” Lena continued. “Like, would you hire an actor who was like, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t smile on command’?”
“I’m with, the thing is I’m with Penny on this one. And I remember going home and knowing that I had screwed the pooch so to speak. And my mother says that I lay in bed and for, and for like a week moaned, ‘My career is over.’ Even though I only ever had one audition. At 12 and I’d only ever had one audition. And that was it,” Lena said.
