This week's CBS Sunday Morning highlighted those who have found a career in the shadows, spotlighting sidemen, backups, and understudies. Correspondent Jim Axelrod spoke with Broadway understudy Kayla Pecchioni, who is currently a swing in Some Like It Hot, and was previously the Nelly O'Brien understudy in Paradise Square.

When asked how she would suggest others find happiness even though they can't be the star, Pecchioni says that she looks to the "glimmers." "Glimmers are small moments in life that make you appreciative of everyday mundane things, and I think a superpower of mine is to see the glimmers."
