Hooray for Hollywood Part II

Awhile back, the Blonde Bombshell got a request from a west coast casting director to submit a video audition for a part in a proposed, upcoming movie. The information casting supplied was unusually vague, normally, their instructions are pretty specific and have lines of dialogue. But, sometimes, when things are in the development stage, they’ll just give the actors a blank screen and see what they can create. The premise of the movie was a bunch of people are trapped in a hotel on an island in the Caribbean and a major hurricane is approaching. The character was a wealthy, spoiled, socialite in an unhappy marriage. The notes said to be animated and vocal in the audition. There was no specific script supplied, so it was just a “wing it” situation, all adlib. So, Ann just turned her back for a moment, hesitated, then turned back to the camera and let it rip.  About 15 minutes after she submitted the video the casting people sent out an email saying they’d sent out the wrong “sides”. The character was supposed to be a loveable, elderly, Christian woman doing a lot of praying and panicking…Ooooops !!!  Needless to say, Ann didn’t get the part, but she did get a note from the casting director saying he loved her doing that rant.
