The Ocean’s 8 actress reminisced getting cold feet before the curtain raise.

She told Extra, "I was starting on the stage, and the curtain had to rise, so I gave him the thumbs-up.”

“He pulled the curtain up and I remember the chill of the like temperature difference between the audience and the stage and the rustling of the programs and people clapping for the set, and it was just a moment I’ll never forget”, Paulson added.
