“All of my friends were watching it and everything. I was in the audition process for Max and I think I had done four callbacks, did the screen test and the I found out that I got the role,” she continued.
After getting the call from series creators The Duffer Brothers when she was at “speech and debate practice,” she said they moved right to the next step.
“They sent a skateboard to my house the next day and I had to learn how to do that.”
“I said I had rollerblading experience, which is just a lie,” she joked.
“And the two don’t go hand-in-hand, so I don’t know why I thought that would mean anything.”
Once she started practicing, she “had no idea how to do it and I really didn’t like it, because the first day I took a pretty hard fall and it just set a bad tone for the entire journey.”
Eventually, she made it work! Watch the appearance…
