What do Joaquin Phoenix, Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze have in common? They are making a film together. AND, they need a pregnant woman for a small role. WHAT? A PREGNANT role in Hollywood? Yippee! That’s exciting since I’ve been pregnant for three years now. Yes, three.
I met with the casting director and discussed the role where I would be doing a scene with Joaquin. However, in our conversation, we realized that with film not starting for another 10 days, the film date of my role wouldn’t happen until one day AFTER my c-section. Bummer.
And you know what? You’d think that they would be limited in their search. Right? I mean, how many pregnant actresses could their possibly be in Hollywood to choose from? Maybe they’ll have to re-do their filming schedule, start tomorrow, and fit me in before my c-section. Ha ha. Yeah, right. There’s probably 1,000 actresses ready, willing, able… AND pregnant. That look just like me. And will do the role for less. That’s Hollywood for ya.
