''I left every single audition being like, 'If that was it and I never see him again, I'm very grateful,'' Rachel Zegler says of her WestSideStory audition process with Steven Spielberg.
One “I-don’t-know-how-I-booked-it” self-tape and several months of callbacks later, Zegler got the part. She was going to be Maria in Steven Spielberg’s newest musical adaptation.
“He explained to me, ‘If this is my first day of watching takes and this is how good the talent is, imagine how good the talent’s gonna be on day 84.’ And then it became day 312,” laughs Zegler, whose contagious energy was unsurprisingly undeterred by the drawn-out waiting game. “I left every single audition being like, ‘If that was it and I never see him again, I’m very grateful.'”
“I didn’t have an agent until way after we finished wrapping ‘West Side Story,’” shares Zegler. “It was Steven that helped me find representation that would take care of me.”
