"Good girls don't make scenes," people warned her. And while she spent most of her childhood suppressing her bold, emotional nature, she found an early outlet in community theater—it was the one place where big feelings were okay—were good, even. Acting became her refuge, and eventually her vocation. At eighteen she moved to New York, where she'd spend the next ten years of her life auditioning, waiting tables, and struggling to make rent before her two big breaks: the TV sitcom <i>Fresh Off the Boat</i> and the hit film <i>Crazy Rich Asians</i>.<br /> <br /> Here Constance shares private memories of childhood, young love and heartbreak, sexual assault and harassment, and how she "made it" in Hollywood. Raw, relatable, and enthralling, <i>Making a Scene</i> is an intimate portrait of the pressures and pleasures of existing in today's world. Media Type: Audiobook.
