Growing up in the friendly suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, Constance Wu was often scolded for having big feelings or strong reactions. "Good girls don't make scenes," people warned her. And while she spent most of her childhood suppressing her bold, emotional nature, she found an early outlet on the stage-the theater was the one place where big feelings were okay-were good, even. Acting became her refuge and eventually her vocation. At eighteen, she moved to New York, where she'd spend the next ten years auditioning, waiting tables, and struggling to pay the rent before her two big breaks: the TV sitcom Fresh Off the Boat and the hit film Crazy Rich Asians. Here Constance shares private memories of childhood, young love and heartbreak, sexual assault and harassment, and how she "made it" in Hollywood. Raw, relatable, and enthralling, Making a Scene is an indelible portrait of the pressures and pleasures of existing in today's world.
