You're a moviestar babySetting up a 'greenscreen' at work got me thinking about the films and tv that I've accidentally been in.
Helena Bonham-Carter vehicle "The Heart of Me" was filmed in our old office, and features several of us peering through the curtains whilst they filmed in the square outside. Similarly, my girlfriend was in an episode of the Professionals that was filmed outside her house.
What have you been in the background of?

Me the Bollywood QueenWhen I was 12 we lived in Bombay in India. My mum's friend ran a talent agency and they wanted some "anglo girls" to be in a movie party scene. So off I went to this hotel with a couple of other girls aged about 15 or 16. We were kitted out in 1960s bikinis and blonde wigs and off we went. The scene was being shot outside next to a pool and so I was put under an outdoor shower and surrounded by Indian men a lot older than me and when the music started we all had to dance under the shower together "in a friendly fashion" and rub coloured powder on our bodies while the star Shashi Kapoor fought off the villains. I had so much fun I couldn't wait to get home and tell mum and dad. Unsurprisingly, I wasn't allowed to go back the next day. My mother fretted for years the fact that I put my real name on the sign-on sheet and was terrified it would come back and embarrass us one day.
