For aspiring actors desperate for a break in Hollywood, landing a job on a daytime television show is a well-trodden path.
Back in 2006, the Duchess of Sussex, a 25-year-old graduate who’d studied acting at Northwestern University, said yes to the role of ‘briefcase girl’ on the NBC quiz show Deal or No Deal – but, as the 41-year-old revealed in the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast, the experience wasn’t a positive one.
Appearing alongside 50 other ‘briefcase girls’, all wearing glamorous – and usually revealing – dresses, Meghan and her new colleagues were charged with opening the case they were each holding to reveal its contents – cash or otherwise – after being picked by a contestant.
While the California-based royal recounted to socialite Paris Hilton on her sixth podcast episode, ‘Breaking Down The Bimbo’, how the show left her feeling ‘objectified’ and like a ‘bimbo’ – she featured in 34 episodes from 2006 to 2007.
