Katie Stevens was on a plane from Montreal to Los Angeles when quarantine started. She had 10 days left of filming on The Bold Type season 4 and was in L.A. to do press for the first half of the season. However, by the time she landed, all but one of her interviews had been cancelled. She then received a call from production asking her to return to Montreal in case the borders between Canada and the United States closed.
And so with that dream in mind, Stevens left school early one day and drove with her mom to Boston to audition for season 9 American Idol. She made it past the first round, but the second audition, in front of judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi, wouldn’t be until the summer. “I had to sign something that I wasn’t going to tell anybody, so I had to go back to school and tell everybody that I didn’t make it and I didn’t want to talk about it,” Stevens says.
It took her four years and a heartbreaking rejection for a role on ABC’s Nashville before Stevens booked her first job as the lead of MTV’s Faking It, a teen comedy in which she played a high school junior who falls in love with her best friend. Though the series was cancelled after three seasons, Stevens still remembers what it meant to the LGBTQ+ community at the time. “We had so many people at Q&As, who would tell us, ‘Hey, I came out after watching this.
