"My first audition ever was in person for a big show. Am I allowed to even say? I don't know. I didn't get it, but it was for White Lotus season 4. So, that was my first audition ever," she said.

Dunne admitted she felt "nervous" going into the audition.

"I was obviously a bit nervous at first. I was like, 'Oh man, like what if I forget the lines?'" she added.

"I've done things way harder than this in my life. I flipped on a beam in front of 13,500 people. I can do this. it's different. I think I would have rather have done a back flip in front of the casting director. But I mean, I went there, I put it all out there. It was my first audition. I mean, like, I didn't know what to expect. And it was honestly really fun."
