Today's guest, Wynn Everett, is riding an incredible professional wave, having booked five shows this year. She takes us through her early years studying theater in Georgia, then landing a five-year job running the green room at Good Morning America—where she met everyone from bestselling authors to First Ladies and Hollywood stars. Those connections would later prove invaluable. Wynn reflects on the patience and clear intent it took to finally land representation at Gersh. She also shares some unforgettable "That One Audition" stories, including a hilarious rhythm argument with Aaron Sorkin over the word "tits" that secured her role in Charlie Wilson's War. She also reveals her highly specific audition process, using music and physical "maps," and explains why her radical decision to move back to the Southeast became the best career choice she ever made.
These are the unforgettable stories that landed Wynn Everett right here.
