Got her break in that drama

A: Um, do you know who Mai Sakurajima is?

B: huh?

A: You know, the child actor Mai Sakurajima, who 'got her break' in that morning drama.

B: Was there someone by that name?



Does that mean 'got her opportunity'?

  

Top answer

Yes, but more: that morning drama, her first significant role on tv (no one had ever heard of her before that), propelled her into stardom. But the exchange is contradictory. If A uses the phrase "got her break," this would mean that Sakurajima is famous now, but B has never heard of her.
