Stone said landing the leading role was difficult -- and it was not initially offered to her.
“It was not an easy part to get,” Stone told OWN. “They offered it to 12 or 13 other women who turned it down. So it wasn’t like I got there and everyone was like, ‘Yay, she’s here!’ It was like, ‘Mm.’ But I knew walking on that set that I was enough.”
