Auditioning for history
From Peterborough Today, a great first-person account of the PRIDE AND PREJUDICE extra auditions in Stamford.
Holding up my name I pulled my biggest, cheesiest grin and trying to look seductive, sultry, deep, and thoughtful in a single pose.
But I couldn’t help feeling more like a crime suspect posing for a mug-shot rather than a wannabe star hoping for a fleeting appearance in next year’s blockbuster movie.
Candy Marlowe, one of the film’s assistant directors, was the women behind the camera.
As she pressed the shutter she told me: “You’ve got a great look.”
She probably said it to everyone, but as I walked away I was filled with pride. Watch this space, I could soon be coming to a cinema near you.
