Streetcar

65 years ago, A Streetcar Named Desire took Broadway by storm with a two-year run starring Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden.

Since then, Cate Blanchette, Jessica Lange, Alec Baldwin and many other actors have interpreted Tennessee Williams' infamously heart-wrenching text. 

 

Next week, UCT's 3rd and 4th year students give it a shot under Luke Ellenbogen's direction. If you're in Cape Town, do support.

Thank you Chantal Cherry for waking up at 6am to take photos of me.

In.

I fucking got in. I can't contain myself. I've been jumping around and screaming like a crazy person, which, anyone who knows me would say is very unusual. I'm just not like that. So... I'm pretty damn excited! I just wanna kiss someone!


The agent I saw was a woman named Janet and she was really much sweeter and friendlier than I had imagined her to be but was also super straight with me about things one normally wouldn't want to have been straight to about. Make sense? Like, she told me my big front teeth don't need to be seen so I need to practice smiling in a way that connects the essence of my smile to the viewer of the photograph or footage but without showing my front teeth OR looking like a spaz who's trying to hide her front teeth.


I also had to do some impromptu accent work for her. That was intimidating. Wow.


And then I did my trusty Juno monologue and got a couple laughs but she said the beginning was too fast - a crit I ALWAYS get. It's really a problem for me. Perhaps it's the nerves. Probably. I'll trump that shit. Eventually.


The whole process made me wonder what all the big guys went through at their first meeting with an agent. I wish I could watch the footage... But for now. Some pics of Bonnie Timmermann's actors in their early days:

and a couple more...

(hahah! Look at the similarity between Sandra Bullock and George Clooney!)

...and, last but not least:

... my favourite: Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman.

Over and out xxx

Whatup.

This is my first entry. Woooohoooo.

I find myself looking for 'cool' things to say and do while starting this blog because I've been reading so many 'cool' blogs lately and I just want to be 'cool' like that. But for now, I'll tell you what I am, aside from however 'cool' or un'cool' I am or am not:

I'm an actor, a photographer, a writer, a dancer, a muso, not a very good draw-er but a very good drawer. I'm a sister, a lover,  a fool and a friend. I'm interested, I'm busy, I'm lonely, I'm happy, I'm insecure, I'm confident, I'm vulnerable and I'm yours. Here.

But mostly, I'm an actor.

See you around.
