Description
Actor Naomi Watts has faced more rejections than most people face in a lifetime. Having moved to Australia at 14 (because her mother bribed her with acting lessons), Naomi shares with host Jenny Cooney how her move to LA in the 90's led her to having to face years of constant rejections before landing her big break in David Lynch's 2001 film Mulholland Drive.
