Any guesses as to what singer Katy Perry and actress Carey Mulligan have in common, besides their A-list status?
Both have failed on the road to their now-successful careers. We’re not talking about little snags like wardrobe malfunctions or missed movie roles. We’re talking epic fails that would have discouraged even the most passionate people from pursuing their dreams.
Take Katy, whose first album back in 2001, Katy Hudson, flopped spectacularly. And The Great Gatsby star? Before Carey added a few Best Actress awards to her name and scored a role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, she auditioned for – and was rejected by – three different drama schools.
