Did you know?!
A role that slipped away
For Cameron Crowe's 1996 romantic comedy-drama Jerry Maguire, Britton reached the final two for Dorothy Boyd, the part played opposite Tom Cruise, but Renee Zellweger won the role.
First role
While training at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Britton made her New York stage debut as a seasoned prostitute in Caroline Kava's The Early Girl, a performance that nearly got her thrown out of the program for taking professional work.
Early training
Britton moved to New York City after graduating in 1989. There she spent two years studying with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre.
Behind the camera
On March 6, 2012, Britton took on acting and producing duties for Nashville, the ABC/CMT musical drama. She played Rayna Jaymes, a 40-year-old country singer whose fame was starting to fade, and called the singing the most nerve-wracking part of the role.
