I take part in films, TV dramas and commercials as a supporting artist ('extra'). My talk is illustrated with many examples in the form of slides, showing the life of a film extra. What happens when you arrive in the morning? Wardrobe, hair and makeup. What is life in front of the cameras like? How do you become a film or TV extra? Do you get paid? Do you meet famous film stars? I have given this talk so far to about 100 Women's Institutes, u3a, Probus and Rotary groups in Oxfordshire and all the surrounding counties.
