A woman shares how her late father's influence shaped her path to acting, including a promise she made to him and an unexpected meeting with actress Anna Friel that changed her trajectory.
I'd wanted to be an actress but my father had said over my dead body. My father then passed away a few years ago. And so I thought, well, now that you've passed away, Daddy, maybe I do have your permission said over my dead body. And so I said if I have your permission now, then I will bump into a famous actress. One day I was walking between meetings. This woman tried to get past us and so I tried to step out of her way but she stepped in the same direction so we literally physically bumped into each other. Then she said sorry and she walked off. And I said to my friend, oh my goodness, that's Anna Friel. I love her. The biggest thing for me is I forgot I'd written that in my journal. So when I look back, I mean, even though I believe in this, it takes my breath away every time.
