Sydney is a total bookworm. According to Who What Wear, she devours around three books a week. But she reads for more than simple pleasure. When she finds a winner (like Jessica Goodman's They Wish They Were Us), she says she can immediately picture it onscreen.
"As I was reading it, I automatically saw the entire thing in my head," she told Who What Wear. "And when I can visually see it in my head, I knew that I could do this. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I knew that I could do it." After getting singer Halsey on board to star in the show, Sydney pitched her project to Goodman, and it all came together. You can watch it soon as The Players Table, an upcoming HBO Max series.
