So it is certainly possible that your daughter may be needed at a callback on sunday. (on the other hand, she could get cut early saturday and already be done before saturday night). So yes, there could be something sunday that would prevent you from flying out then. Good luck!; ▶ Reply to This

She may have been closer to 4'10 when she did it in London for 2months in May.June 1978. All the first girls were shorter than 4'10'. They were just older and looked more mature.; ▶ Reply to This
