Another bright morning came, as I turned up at Manchester Town Hall to carry on my ‘starring’ film role -
O.K. I was only an extra, ready to do whatever was needed…almost, to get into the Hollywood film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iron_Lady_(film)
Once again it was straight into make up, hairdressing and my 1950’s costume, and as soon as the Director came into our room she selected me,along with some others for an important role – and off I went for a seperate briefing and ‘filming’…the big moment had come, as I walked up and down the corridors of Manchester Town Hall all morning, sometimes with actors around, sometimes just performing to the camera, at one stage even just having our feet appear ‘on camera’, and as the day wore on, changing into 1990’s costume, and back to 1950’s again…
The main actor Meryl Streep was around,but I didn’t see much of her on ‘set’ !
The afternoon was taken up with another long involved session, with me reading a paper and smoke all around me…!
Eventually the filming finished, and we all trooped off home…my Hollywood career at an end, or is it ?
The film is due out in November 2011…first one to spot me…wins a prize, Happy Hunting !
