Rehearsing a Film Noir


Rehearsal for "Cahiers du Cinema" went really well. Two and a half hours in the living room and the library at the mansion. The director is detailed and precise about every moment of her actors' work - all the business must be exact. After all, the genre is film noir. The mansion gives one a lot to work with. My scene colleague has also been cast in "In-World War." He's a delight to work with. He raves about the sci-fi script.

Came home realizing I have a very short time to memorize my cinema multi-tasking before Sunday's shoot. My hair is in a frizzzzzzzz....ze mansion is rawther humid and that proves it. I have a call in to my hairdresser for emergency work, pre-shoot.

Meanwhile, I need to decide on the wardrobe. The black dress, stockings and T-strap heels, to look like that chic French lady we all know? The flowing tunic and slacks? The simple blouse and standard black pants I am famous for?

I have no idea what I'll be paid, nor when. But I did secure this verbal contract: for my death scene, I will wear a blouse provided by the production, as it will be soaked in....
