As the actress said to the bishop...
Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)  Arts & Entertainment

I don't find taking my clothes off difficult, it's the acting that's really hard!
- so said Elena, who is a thespian, last night after dinner at Samizdata HQ

Comments

I dont care if she cant fake orgasms!

It's that first bit that interests me!

I can take it from there, to our mutual satisfaction i'm sure!
Camera's or no.
Preferably No.

Sorry to disappoint, RAB, but she was describing an aspect of acting-as-a-job.

Blimey, it's the Bishop....

I have had many actors describe what they do or do not for a living to me.
Perhaps she would like to be Brit Ekland in the original Wicker Man, and get a body double for the nude bits and a voice over for the vocal bits.
Shit no 4 am starts !
Stay in bed and still get paid.
If she cant act, could you gently steer her career in a direction she CAN manage.

I have a casting couch available....

Be fair. Britt Ekland only used a body double for half the nude bits (the bottom half). It was her tits and someone else's ass.

There was a donkey involved? Stranger and stranger.

That's the trouble with actors
they're all Communists!
Somebody else's ass, somebody else's tits

Ah! but my credit, and paycheck!


Posted by RAB at September 3, 2006 10:31 PM

Here is a clue that the actress in question is not a communist, socialist or collectivist statist of any flavour... she was having dinner at Samizdata HQ.


Posted by Perry de Havilland at September 3, 2006 10:43 PM

Here's a clue.
It's Sunday and there's nothing much going on,
especially on telly.
I dont care where she was having dinner
only if she can act.
You have yet to convince me.
I was hopeing for a Gretta Garbo type rant from the lady in question, in defence of her Profession.
I have yet to hear it.
Mainly because actors wait to hear what the producer says.
Acting is a piece of piss!
Each and every one of us does it almost continuously.
For those of you who believe these elusive talents are exclusive and somehow miraculous, get real!
Anyone can do it!
Ah but to do it well!!! Well!
Nope only 1% can do that too!
Same as music, comedy ....

Similar quote from a woman who posed nude for a noted painter:
"Aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Oh no, his studio is quite warm."

This thread is useless without pics.

I see Hank Scorpio has beaten me to the Fark cliche.


Posted by Andy at September 4, 2006 05:16 PM

Pics? I suspect this is the Elena in question


Posted by Mark Holland at September 4, 2006 07:15 PM

I bet the Elena in question is Romanian. Ain't that so?


Posted by emil at September 5, 2006 03:32 AM

Mark... yup, that's the one.


Posted by Perry de Havilland at September 6, 2006 06:50 PM

Ahh, the rough life at Samizdata HQ. Chin up, men.
