I feel like characterizing Halle Bailey as "just some chick" is disingenuous at best.
...gonna be real honest. Just some chick is actually less of a description than I'd give in this case.
She was in two romantic comedies, I guess? A lotta Last Holiday fans? She wasn't known for anything beforehand other than one sitcom spinoff, unless she's a pop star or influencer or something, in which case... lol?
