And while she spent most of her childhood suppressing her bold, emotional nature, she found an early outlet in community theater--it was the one place where big feelings were okay--were good, even. Acting became her refuge, and eventually her vocation. At eighteen she moved to New York, where she'd spend the next ten years of her life auditioning, waiting tables, and struggling to make rent before her two big breaks: the TV sitcom \u003ci\u003eFresh Off the Boat\u003c\/i\u003e and the hit film \u003ci\u003eCrazy Rich Asians\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere Constance shares private memories of childhood, young love and heartbreak, sexual assault and harassment, and how she \"made it\" in Hollywood.
