Story summary

Tyra Banks expressed disappointment with her role in Halloween: Resurrection, a 2002 film, stating it did not advance her acting career as promised. Initially, she was told that taking on a significant part would boost her profile similar to how fellow actor Josh Hartnett benefited from his appearance in Halloween: H20 (1998). However, the role turned out to be much smaller than expected, and most of her planned death scene was cut. Banks regrets accepting the role because it did not provide the career benefits she had anticipated.
