She said that, at a film festival several years down the road, a drunk producer told her, “Oh, Thandie, I’ve seen you recently!”

Her husband, Ol Parker, spoke to the producer to find out what was going on.
“It turns out that the director was showing that audition tape to his friends after poker games at his house. And they would all get off on it,” Thandiwe said.
