The Untold Truth Of Rachel Brosnahan

Imagine it: you're preparing for the audition of a lifetime and bam! You get the flu, and you get it badly. Well, that's exactly what happened to Rachel Brosnahan, who was super ill when she auditioned for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Dan. "I was all ready to go, and then got so, so sick," she recalled in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. "I mean, sicker than I have ever been in my life." Yikes!

Brosnahan was in such poor health that she postponed the test, but she didn't pushed it back a second time as she didn't want to jeopardize her chances. "I rallied, but I honestly was so sick during the camera test," she continued. "I was so sweaty Amy kept stopping me because I had to powder my face, I was blowing my nose, I took my shoes off at some point... at best, that test was a beautiful disaster!"

Clearly Brosnahan obviously nailed the audition in spite of her health, as she snagged the role of Midge and never looked back. But that definitely sounds like the audition from hell.
