She went through the entire casting process just like anyone else wanting to do the role would - meetings, screen tests - the works. She was even asked to lose some weight which she took up and did with so much grace. For someone in her 70s, it is a mean feat but she was willing to make it all happen. We are delighted to have her as part of our film's cast which is now a wonderful blend of young pulsating energy and the depth and balance of experience."
