I was so pissed off that I did it really rudely, with a little New York anger... I walked out of the audition, and the casting director said, 'Hold on a minute, you're not right for that part.' And I was like, 'You think?' And he said, 'You might be right for this head nurse, Carol Hathaway, but she dies in the pilot.' But could you come and read for that? So I went back in, and I read for Hathaway with a lot of attitude. And I got the role!
But the way the director shot it - he was great, Rod Holcomb, who passed away last year - he did it through George's eyes, and they didn't show her die. They saw her overdose, and they knew they had to save her.
