Catherine Kellner

“[On Rosewood audition] Now I know nothing about the South. My father was an Jewish Hungarian immigrant who came to this country on a boat. We're basically East Coast: I went to Vassar and my brother is in law school at Yale. I knew the 'Rosewood' people had approached people like Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster to play Fannie, I knew Singleton wanted 'the real thing', a true Southerner who'd never acted before, which was not my case. I felt I didn't stand a chance, so I did the whole thing in a blur.”
