Eileen the Actress

I haven't always wanted to be an actress but I do believe there is an actor in everyone. 
We all act every day of our lives in some way or another, some others just have a knack
for taking it to the stage on screen.

Around 7 years old, I took a big interest in ballet I'd love to see the ballerinas and their costumes, so mummy enrolled me into Irene's Ashton School of Dance.   
My balance was terrible, I had two left feet and was chubby, I loved it at first and soon found out that I didn't really fit in my ballet learning skills were slow and unimpressive.
 

I remember me and this other little girl she must've been seven years old the same
as me, she was taller red hair really chubby both of us bottom of the class.    
I think my mum realised took me out of ballet school and signed me up to do judo with my brother Dominic,  I was a lot better at that.   

To this day I still love the classical music of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, The Nutcracker Suite, and the music of Debussy.   
I do frequent ballet when I can,  I admire the beautiful moves and the eloquent statues dancing beauties in front of me,  the costumes are exquisite!
oh my, such grandeur.

 

My Story

How can I tell you my story and be bluntly honest about it, even brutal?
I wasn't very good in class at all growing up, when I wasn't bunking off, smoking and just generally causing trouble as all teenage children do from the age of 13 to 15.

I made some great friends at school who I hung around with and to this day
they're still my mates, I might not see them so often, but I'm still in contact with them,
in fact, one of my best mates is in my latest movie ‘She's A Bitch’  The Ghost team find out there's more they bargain for.

Back to how I started acting.   When I walked out of the school gates for the last time,
I had no idea where I was going or what I was going to do, I wasn't good at anything. 
Except for my stage shows where I would sing all dressed up leotard fishnet tights high platform boots,

My mum used to dress me for the shows, it was the 70s, and I would sing the current pop songs of the time, we listened to a lot of Capital radio back then, it was bit like karaoke,
now I was good at that, I rocked that stage.

But as I walked out of the school gates for the last time, I thought  where was I going to
find a job like that!  in Hampton Hill at 16 years old,  you know that everyone has to
start from somewhere and it wasn't the yellow Brick Road, not for me anyway.
life's a bitch
