Prior to landing her career-changing role as Rachel on Suits, Meghan was close to giving up her dream of being an actress for good. 

“I was in my early 20s, still figuring so much out, and trying to find my value in an industry that judges you on everything that you’re not versus everything that you are. Not thin enough, not pretty enough, not ethnic enough, while also being too thin, too ethnic, too pretty the very next day,” she wrote in an essay for Darling magazine.
