I called my dad and was like, ‘This is crazy.’ [Henry] was like, ‘I can get you into a tryout.’ Of course I have to say yes, why would you not say yes to that?” she said. “So he set me up with a tryout, [and] within a couple months I was in the PC [performance center] doing an actual tryout.” [H/T NY Post]
