'I know I seem pretty tough but I am afraid of heights, that's the one thing I'm afraid of and I had to do this 20 foot jump 10 times ... and each time (I was) petrified (and) thought I was gonna die,' she said.
The Sydney-born actress also credited Anna with keeping her calm each time they were being back hoisted up.
'She would sing random stuff to distract me, like she was singing a lot of Bette Midler classics... and I'd be like "keep singing, keep singing".
