I interviewed and tested

I interviewed her and tested her twice before we decided on her. STARLOG: Were you harder on her than you might have been on an actress you hadn't worked with previously? BADHAM: Sometimes, you arc harder on somebody you know because you already know not only all of their good points, but all their shortcomings, too. What it came down to was that we needed to find the person who could perform the best. We found that many women just couldn't handle the kind of innocence that the character needed. Many of them were much too.. ."knowing,"and any innocence that they tried to put on just looked false.
