If you've seen the film, you know Josie was bullied in high school. The film shows us some flashbacks revealing as much, and Drew plays young Josie in the flashbacks as well."I would get these calls from the studio, and they were like, 'I'm sorry, but you're just looking too unattractive,'" she said, claiming she was told"it's too far" when it came to the look she cultivated for young Josie.
Drew also explained that, since she was a producer on the film, making sure everything was in place for achieving success was of utmost importance."At that time, people were very wary of actors being producers," she said."A lot of it wasn't necessarily working and it didn't mean because you're an actor, you knew how to produce a film, and it was about the economics.
