The Near Past: The Movie Experience


I suppose I will never truly forget the excitement of having been an extra in a movie with two famous A-listers several years ago in Toronto, Canada. I happened to be living in the city and decided, well, why not, to get cast as an extra in a movie.
 
I still remember when my agent called me and said that I would have not only the opportunity of being in a costume-film (which fact in itself was more than enough to make me happy, dear reader, as I have a passion for lovely costumes) but in one directed by Atom Egoyan featuring Colin Firth (2011 Academy Award winner for Best Actor in The King's Speech; other movies: Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare in Love, Bridget Jones's Diary, Love Actually) and Kevin Bacon (Footloose, A Few Good Men, Apollo13, The Following).
 
I am posting a few film screenshots in which I can be seen (I'm the tallest blonde). I will write more about it in some subsequent post.
