Miranda Otto: The Gift in Getting It Wrong

Actor Miranda Otto says professional mistakes can become unexpected gifts. The stage and screen star, famous for playing Éowyn in *The Lord of the Rings*, shared this perspective in a recent interview. She also discussed the lasting impact of that role and a memorable stew scene that fans still ask her about. When asked which fish she would choose to be for a day, Otto named a specific blue groper at Sydney's Clovelly Beach. She called the fish "an institution" that people visit and talk about. "It’s a special fish," she said. Otto's latest role is the Queen of the Cuttlefish in the children's show *The Pout-Pout Fish*.
