Those of you who have known me for a while know that while I lived in Los Angeles I did a lot of extra work, commercials, modeling and some acting.. (we are talking about 20 years ago)..I loved that part of my life and sometimes miss how free and exciting that type of work is (as well as very hard work)…

Well, the other day I got a call to be an extra in a new movie being shot here in Ciudad de la Luz Movie Studios called El Diario de Carlota. It was a night shoot and since my mom is here visiting from Madrid and could stay with the kids I said what the hell.

We were only 6 extras and were to be in one of the night shoots inside a bus.  One by one they started to tell all of us where to sit inside the bus except for me.. I was told to just sit outside and wait.. Everyone was just starring at me, I think sort of feeling sorry for me.. probably thinking “poor girl she wasn’t chosen for the shot”.. I sat on a bench and just kept telling myself.. Well, I guess I’m just too glamorous to be on a bus… hahahaha.. trying to make myself feel better.. All kind of thoughts entered my brain.. but after a few minutes I could hear someone yelling “Where is the girl?, where is the girl?” and one of the movie assistance came running up to me and said please come with me right away….

I was told to go inside the bus and sit down where they indicated.. I did just that and as I sat down all the way in the back of the bus, I could see everyone starring at me.. They had sat me down directly behind the two main young actors of the scene... Long story short.. I think if not cut I will probably come out for at least a couple of seconds in the movie.. In the end the other 6 were told to get off the bus and were only in one shot, while I sat there for about 6 hours…

It brought back great memories and kind of lifted my moral a little which at this point in my life I needed….
