I know... It really bogs down the story. Totally unnecessary...
My current train of thought about being an actress goes like this.
I compare making a movie to a game of chess. The pawns are the actors, the ones in front, the ones everyone else sees first. If they put on a great performance, they become the most powerful pieces on the board.
The pieces behind the pawns -- the kings, queens, knights, rooks and bishops -- are the behind-the-scenes people: the director, the producer, the makeup artists, the costume designers, the dialog coaches, the cameramen and the musician in charge of the soundtrack. Each piece has its own place, and they make a difference. But there is one piece to a chess game that is more powerful than them all. A piece that often goes unseen and unnoticed, yet it governs the world in which the pieces exist and move. It determines and defines their bounderies. Any guesses???
