17!!Tropes:
18* PerformanceAnxiety: She once played the triple role of Cassandra, Andromache and Helen of Troy in a modernized production of ''Theatre/TheTrojanWomen''. The latter role required her to wear a ModestyTowel at one point, which subsequently drops to the floor. Having never been naked on stage before, she was extremely nervous about it. But she ultimately came to see it as an empowering experience, since Helen drops her towel in order to be bold and to show her enemy that she won't go down without a fight.
