Jennifer Beals Slept on Park Bench Before 'Flashdance' Audition

Actress Jennifer Beals reflected back on her New York audition for Flashdance on Off Camera With Sam Jones on Wednesday. With little money budgeted for a stay in the Big Apple, Beals revealed that she spent a night at the Y until she ran out of dough. Then she resorted to sleeping on a Manhattan park bench. The ordeal might even have caused her to get teary during an audition scene with Flashdance's director, Adrian Lyne, watching.
