Naomi Watts spoke about her menopause advocacy and early acting difficulties during a masterclass at the Zurich Film Festival on Sunday.
Watts shares past audition challenges
The British actress described spending roughly ten years auditioning in Los Angeles before landing her breakthrough role.

Watts felt worthless during this decade-long period of rejection before meeting director David Lynch.
Husband supports her current work
Watts praised her husband Billy Crudup for backing her recent activism regarding menopause issues. She called his support both sweet and sexy while accepting the Golden Eye award. The conversation also touched on how her family moved from the U.K. to Australia when she was a teenager.
