But my favorite was when I showed up to audition for the Scottish play and I was 6 months pregnant with my son. I told him I could only play one role (Lady McDuff) she gets murdered and wouldn't it be on the dark side to have her pregnant? He loved the idea and I got a call to play the pregnant one that gets murdered. I last saw him a few years...
