How Did Olivia DeJonge Land the Role in Elvis?

It seems like she was mean to play Priscilla because her audition story is as simple as sending in an audition tape. “It kind of just happened,” she told AU Review in June 2022. “I set up a self-tape, and a couple months later, I was sitting at dinner with my agents, and I asked them about the role,” she continued.
