So here it is – me with my great new hair. And eyebrows. I have ginger eyebrows. And a very scabby scalp, owing to the fact that I had three or four loads of gloop plopped on my bonce. My husband finds it strangely alluring, but he didn’t see it today – very dry and frizzy. Etheline the hair lady on the movie is going to be delighted – she wanted it super-frizzy and gross.
God, I love my job – seriously! Getting paid to dress up and pretend to be other people? It’s a dreamy treat.
We had the read-through on Friday – so many good actors and the script is an actor’s dream. Great lines for everyone, especially the actors playing the recovering addicts. I feel very, very blessed.
I’m hoping I can post pictures of me in costume – I look scary. Good scary. I start filming in a couple of days – I can’t wait. I’ve waited a long time for a chance like this and as Ali, one of the other British actors in the film told me on Friday, “I’m chuffed!”

Marilla who?
I am a British-born actress and stand-up comic who does lots of voice work (for commercials, cartoons and corporate clients) and sometimes, when I'm very lucky, tv and film. When I was in England I did mostly theatre. Now I'm in Canada I spend the majority of the time writing and performing stand-up. When I'm not making episodes of Talking Bollocks, that is. And that's me for you.
Heeheehee…. awesome!
Yeah – it’s kind of terrifying. And this is before the hair and makeup department have had a go at it…..
