Rachael Taylor Highlight
I still think it could all fall apart. I think it's good to have that-if I felt entitled to be doing what I'm doing, it wouldn't work out.
About Rachael
- Because she grew up as an only child, she was always very imaginative.
- When she was in high school, she felt like she didn't fit in because everyone was so focused on sports and she was unathletic.
- Her English teacher pointed out that there was another area that she could excel in: theater and drama.
- She'd known she had a talent for storytelling and acting, but now, for the first time, she realized she could make a career of it.
- Decided to move from Tasmania to Sydney, Australia so she could try to enter the entertainment industry.
- For a long time, she struggled-she couldn't find an agent, couldn't get any work as an extra, and was making coffee to get by.
- Briefly went to law school because she'd started to believe that acting wasn't going to work out.
- After six weeks, she dropped out and went "all in" on pursuing acting; before long, she had her first movie role.
