Auditioning With Her Mom
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kaia shared that her mom helped her with her taped audition. Although things were a little awkward since they were reading a scene about romantic partners Ruby and Scarlett, Cindy got through it just fine.
“As you can imagine, [it was] a little bit uncomfortable to do with my mom,” Kaia shared with ET. “But she was trooper and helped me a lot.”
Pursuing An Acting Career
While Kaia may be more known as a fashion model, she has had a couple of appearances on TV and in small movies. She has been seen in minor acting roles since she was 15 years old.
She made her acting debut at 15 in Lifetime movie Sister Cities and she also appeared in TV series The Rich Kids of Instagram.
According to mom Cindy, Kaia realized she wanted to pursue acting more seriously when the pandemic hit.
"She wasn’t traveling and wasn’t modeling because there were no shoots anywhere. She started auditioning and taking online acting classes," Crawford said. "She had taken some acting stuff before."
She's A Big Fan Of The Show
When Kaia auditioned, she initially didn’t know it was for AHS. She only knew that she was reading for a Ryan Murphy show but no other details were given. After landing the role and finding out it was for the popular series, she got excited because she was a big fan.
“Half of my life I’ve spent religiously watching American Horror Story. I’ve seen every season, and I know how all the different storylines connect,” Kaia shared.
