Eliza Taylor Gets Just as Emotional as Fans Do Over 'The 100'

Eliza Taylor signs an autograph for a fan waiting in line during the Supanova Fan Convention in Sydney, Australia over the weekend.

The 100 star was joined by The Flash‘s Carlos Valdes and Arrow‘s Stephen Amell at the annual convention. Meanwhile, her co-star Lindsey Morgan was seen at the German Comic-Con.

In a new interview, Eliza opened up about facing hard times just before booking Clarke on The 100, and how she gets just as emotional as the fans because it actually changed her life for the better.

“I was working four different jobs to save the money to move to Los Angeles, including teaching drama, and working at a nightclub called Love Machine in Melbourne — it took three years,” she remembers. “When I got to Los Angeles, I went to pay for groceries and found my credit card had been skimmed and someone had taken all my money.”

After being cast in the series, Eliza was “borrowing money from the cast and crew for the first month. I was ready to pack my bags: it was a nightmare.”

However, going through that experience has made her appreciate The 100 even more, and her relationships with the cast, crew, and fans.

“I get quite emotional when people say things like: ‘Your show helped me through a really hard time’ or ‘You saved my life…it’s really amazing.”
