Went for my fitting for a days filming (just background)on the new adaptation of "The Wolfman" starring Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro. Set in Victorian times the days filming I'm involved with will be filmed in a weeks time. I love my dress, Very fitted! At first they were worried they wouldn't have a dress long enough (I thought here we go again!) My height and period productions don't seem to blend well, but thankfully I will be ok in this one. I will have my hair up and have a small hat on too when it comes to filming. Can't wait, will hopefully get some more pics of me in costume on set.

( 3.2 / 241 )Just a short posting, if what I was told was correct, the episode of Casualty I am in was due to be aired this Saturday, but due to the Eurovision Song Contest, it will be aired Sat 31 May 2008, 8.55pm, BBC ONE. It's the one when I was playing a Xena lookalike at a Sci-fi Convention!
Found this link with a bit of info on the episode Casualty Episode Link
Still trying to land my next role, going to auditions etc. I do have a days background on the new Anthony Hopkins film The Wolfman in a couple of weeks, so really looking forward to that.
Later

Lucy at last makes it to London! She was joined by other Xena guests, Adrienne Wilkinson (Eve), Brittany Powell (Brunhilda), Paris Jefferson (Athena), Joseph LoDuca (Xena Writer/Composer) and Steven Sears (Ex-producer/Writer).
As a poor struggling actress
I couldn't afford the full weekend ticket or evening concerts so I can only report on the day I attended which was the Sunday. Friday evening see's the start of the weekends entertainment with the Evening Caberet with all the guests except Lucy and Joseph.
Saturday saw Adrienne, Brittany and Paris on stage with the usual Q & A sessions and this was followed by one of the highlights for Lucy fans, Lucy performing her musical concert at the Carling Academy. I was lucky to see her perform in one of her first performances at the Roxy on Sunset Blvd in LA last time I was in LA. Because of this and due to the cost I didn't attend the London ones. Shame but the tickets were even more than LA and I find the price a little bit steep! For those wanting to read about these concerts, I suggest you go to www.AUSXIP.com
where you will find further links and photo's.
The Sunday entertainment started with Joseph LoDuca on stage, I missed his appearance as I was changing into my Xena costume. It was a shame there was no costume contest at the event, it seems there were a few things lacking at this convention. It appeared Creation who run the convention seemed to rely on Lucy's appearance to carry the event, although the concerts go down well with the fans, I can't help but think it's a shame it splits the fans up in the evening. Those who only went to one of the concerts and not the other were left to hang around the hotel waiting until the rest of the fan's came back from the concert. The dealers room was sparce to say the least, I guess I miss the more intimate events we used to have where it felt the Xena fans took over the whole hotel for the weekend and everything was in one place.
I wore my costume more for prosperity than anything else. It was good to be at a Xena Convention in kit again.
Lucy was next on stage, she had a very warm reception from the fans but she looked a little tired, I guess the mixture of jet lag and performing her concert the night before took it's toll. She was very entertaining and spoke of some funny and interesting scenarios, answering the fans questions. I asked her a question about filming and what she looks for in a script when acting, she replied that it depends who is making/working on the film more than the content of the script. Once Lucy had finished and left the stage to huge rounds of applause, the rest of the afternoon seemed to fizzle out with most of the fans leaving early for the Lucy concert. For the remaining fans there was a charity auction and a music video. Steven Sears took it upon himself to go on stage and entertain the remaining fans which they seemed to appreciate.
On the whole the fans seemed very happy and raving about Lucy's concerts, not just what she was performing but what she was wearing got more of a buzz I think!
For me it was great to see so many friends from past Xena Conventions and to come across so many new fans that have never been to a Xena convention before. Whilst at the convention I was interview by New Zealand TV about Lucy too, check out the link Lucys Interview on NZ TV3

( 3.1 / 162 )Just a quick update, I attended the Xena Convention which was held in London this weekend just gone (3-5th May). I only attended the Sunday due to the cost of the weekend, but it was great to see so many friends from past UK Xena conventions. I will post up a short report next week when I can add a couple of photos.
