    That’s a great yearbook quote for/from someone who ended up doing extraordinary things.

      I mean yes, but also no. She’s a total nepo baby. Her mom was a big actress and her dad was literally the president of NBC

        Being a nepo baby doesn’t give you talent. She did all the work, she just didn’t have to spend a decade serving tables while waiting to be discovered. Nepotism sucks, but we shouldn’t turn away genuinely hard working and talented people for it. It’s more like a red flag that makes the nepo baby need to prove themselves, which she did.

          She’s talented and hard working, but there are zillions of actresses just as talented and hard working as her. The nepotism is what gets her the extra auditions and gets her selected over the other equally talented and hard working actresses
