"No, I don't think so," she said. "The funniest thing I heard recently was that I was too sophisticated. And I was like, Oh, that sounds nice. I like that feedback. I didn't get the part, but I'm a very sophisticated person.

And then I found out later that they actually said "old." I want to make a translation sheet for Hollywood that's all the feedback your agents give you and what it really means .
