Overview

  • During a June 2025 Actors on Actors interview, Hahn said she arrived flustered and sweaty to her 2003 audition after struggling to find a parking spot.
  • Hahn’s Nokia flip phone rang mid-audition, prompting a brief interruption that Hudson remembers with amusement.
  • Hudson and producer Lynda Obst were so taken with Hahn’s energy that they cast her on the spot as one of Andie’s friends.
  • The co-stars reunited nearly two decades later in the 2022 Knives Out sequel Glass Onion, an experience Hahn called unforgettable.
  • Hahn pitched herself as Andie’s long-lost sister in Hudson’s upcoming Netflix sports comedy Running Point.
