Since childhood, I had dreamt of being a film star.The casting interview went well, and two days later I was told that I had been chosen. I was to lose some of my enthusiasm fo

24、r the idea, however. Extras are often left in the dark for some time as to which role they will play.

Poor Alice was asked to pretend to bang her head against the wall. Meanwhile, Veronica swept the floor.Thankfully, after just

29、 a few attempts, the scenes were done. And so my first taste of this “glorious” career was over.
