Like Ivy, Hilty came to New York with one thing on her mind: to succeed in musicals. Now, at 30, she can’t even count how many times she’s been told after readings and workshops of Broadway-bound shows: We love you, you’re perfect, but we have to find a star to play this. “Which is devastating,” she says. “So I finally told myself, if people are looking for TV stars, I can sit around and cry about it or I can go develop a career in that field and then come back and do what I want.” [x]
