Actress Wannabee Sonya Bellah - No Show




Actress Wannabee Sonya Bellah - No Show

Some people in the entertainment business are not known for their integrity. But among the many I have worked with through the years - from Coleen Gray, Patsy Ruth Miller, Lillian Gish among others - their word was their bond.

I was to continue filming another little opus (Death Takes A Holyday) on Saturday, September 9th, 2011.

An Austin "actress" had accepted the small role via email and we even hooked up over the telephone to discuss character.

On Friday night - all was set to shoot at 1pm on Saturday.

On Saturday morning -

Hi Brian,
I am sorry, but I have to bow out of this project. I've received a call-back this morning to do more with a project through the rest of the year, it pays the bills ...

I wish you much luck with this film!

Thank you and have a great day!
Sonya

Well, you see the "professional" photo she sent me.

And - the day of the shoot - an actress wannabee cancels.

Just venting.

Her part was filled within an hour with a real actress.
