Kenny got on a plane, he went over to visit her.
And he called as soon as he was done meeting with her and said, Thats our Desdemona.
Ive sort of been keeping it under wraps for so long, she said, smiling brightly.
She told how Kavovit, her manager, contacted her about making an audition tape.
For herOthellotape she read from ShakespearesAs You Like It.
A few weeks later, Leon was in town and had arranged to meet with Osborne at Coulsons office.
Its just one of many jobs the hard-working thespian takes on in between acting work.
The director talked with Osborne at Coulsons office the following day.
We had a really nice chat and we said goodbye, Osborne recalled.
When she didnt hear back about that, she was resigned to thinking that it wasnt to be.
She was in a daze for two days before I then burst into tears, Osborne said.
Its a breathtaking moment for an actor who has never had her name up in lights before.
Her first role after graduating was in Nunns superb production ofFiddler on the Roof.
She later returned to the Menier Chocolate Factory to play Chana in Paula VogelsIndecentdirected by Rebecca Taichman.
And her 94-year-old grandfather still enjoys singing along to Frank Sinatra.
At school Osborne would do plays, and she was lucky enough to have a bunch of singing lessons.
My parents would drive me back from rehearsals and they really encouraged my passion, she said.
Im lucky to have seen several of her stage performances and she has always stood out.
Osbornes prepping, whenever she gets the opportunity, for her Broadway debut next year.
Ive been told to be ready to be in New York from January.
I cant wait to meet them and dive into it, Osborne enthused.
Were delighted to have Molly, Moreland said.
