Tina Fey tried to get an “Into the Woods” audition

Tina Fey humbly admits that when she was between making “30 Rock” and “the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and had some time on her hands, she tried stretching herself a bit — namely by trying to get an audition for “Into the Woods” by hounding director Rob Marshall. “I tried to talk my way into that movie,” she revealed during a recent Tribeca Film Festival talk. “I did that thing you never do, where I’m like, ‘May I please audition?’ And it’s like, ‘They knew where you were sweetheart. They’d have found you if they wanted you to audition.'”

Don’t be so hard on yourself, lady. At least when the next musical comes around, they’ll know you might be up for it.
