Anna Sharp, actor

Anna Sharp left school just after her 16^th birthday two years ago. At the time she hoped to find a job within a few weeks, but even now though she applied for various jobs, six months later she was still unemployed.

Then one day she was standing on the platform at her local station having a terrible argument with her boyfriend, screaming at him and crying at the same time. Her train arrived and she got on without him, followed by a woman who was also waiting for the same train. The woman sat down beside Anna and introduced herself as a film director. She was looking for a girl to play the main role in her new film.

“I really didn´t believe it. I thought yeah – right, forget that”, says Anna, who is now 18. “She asked me for my phone number, but I didn´t tell my parents what had happened. Anyway a week later she rang me, and asked me to go to a meeting at a film studio”.

There were two further meetings before she as finally offered the part of a difficult teenager who lives with her mother and young brother and occasionally gets into trouble at school. “She´s a really horrible girl”, says Anna, “but she doesn´t mean to be rude and selfish to her family, and what she really wants is to feel loved”.

Looking back to her time at school, Anna didn´t know what she wanted to do. She liked the idea of drama but, like many people of her own age, didn´t think it could eve become her job. “I always watched films and wished I could be famous, but I was too shy and embarrassed to act in front of everyone at school”.
