Sweet Victory
The entertainment industry is a tough industry; it’s hard to make it as a screenwriter or an actor, and a lot of actors and actresses struggle for the first years of their careers if they ever make it big. A lot of actors and actresses go through many rejections before getting that one “yes” that turns their careers around.
Nia Vardalos got one rejection after another, first from her agent who told her she wasn’t pretty enough to be an actress, then from her managers who told her actors can’t be writers and she has to focus on just one endeavor. In 2002, she proved them both wrong when she starred in her first screenplay, the blockbuster My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
