According to her, to pick an actress that could effortlessly transition the character from her older years to her younger self, she had to submit a picture of her younger self to the casting crew.

She indicated that, the wide acclaim the precision in casting has received from all those that have seen the show made her “ joyous at their reaction. We’d done our job.”
