Naomi Watts Almost Quit Acting Before Being Cast In David Lynch’s ‘Mulholland Drive’: “He Was Very Instrumental To Me”
Before starring in the 2001 film directed by Lynch, Watts had starred in 1995’s Tank Girl and 1996’s Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering. Watts noted that due to the lack of big opportunities, she had “planned on going home multiple times” and then got a call from Lynch.
