Danny Gallego, a friend of Mortensen’s and the first BYU student to play Cosmo, encouraged Mortensen to try out for the role of Cosmo the Cougar in 1955 at the age of 20.

Mortensen recalls that she was the only female trying out at the time. She said that while she enjoyed being the first female Cosmo, she auditioned more “for the adventure.”
Once chosen to play Cosmo, Mortensen said Gallego would take her to the gym and practice walking and looking “like a guy.” She said that because the Cosmo suit was too large for her, she had to wear her own shoes and “lots of padding” inside the costume.
In addition to spellcraft, divination is another important aspect covered in the Rosewood Witchcraft Monitor.
