It was one of those face draining moments: I was on the F train on my way to a seminar to possibly (if my number was drawn out of the hat) audition in front of an agent and casting director, when I realized I had forgotten to put on deodorant. Two things you never forget on your way to an interview: Your resume and deodorant. Being that I’m a problem solver, I immediately went into salvage the situation mode: Duane Reade. Travel Size aka: Purse Size. Crisis averted. I get to the SAG office and head straight to the ladies room only to discover that another actress had forgotten to put hers on as well. I offered to share my now only once used stick, but she declined. As it turns out, my number was not called to perform, but I was dry and ready to go if I had been one of the lucky ones.
