Shelley conn how do you know

As a result her success and prolific work commitments, has the call of California ever swayed Shelley to make the move? My base has always been London, I just go where the work takes me. My motto has always been make it as comfortable and as homely as possible.

I just do some research on how to live out there. I have a family, I bring my family with me. Where I'm staying needs to suit there needs as well, and I would say, I'm really lucky that I feel like I've got it right. I've never owned a property out there, or I've never had a home. I just do Airbnb like everybody else. I think wherever you're filming, whether it's the back of beyond in some little town in England or a swanky place like LA, you've got to be able to live there, I think a lot of people who aren't in the business still think that it's just all glitzy, and it is.

I mean, oh my God, I was working at Universal Studios! What a privilege to show my ID pass, drive right in, park outside my trailer, take a golf buggy around.

When I remember doing the Universal Studios tour when my parents took me as a child, that is a massive privilege, and I don't pretend it's not, but at the same time, I'm living my life.

This is my work. I'm just incredibly grateful. I know I'm lucky that what I wanted to do has become the reality of what I do. We now share a nerdy moment to embrace how cool it is to have been on the Universal Studios tour as a child and then working on the lot later.

I never once thought when I was on the street where Nightmare on Elm Street is filmed, or Desperate Housewives, or whatever. They used that street for so may sets, and there I was filming on it, on the backlot where they shot Back to the Future. It's historic, really, and it's stuff that inspires me. So to be in the square where the clock tower was, it's just so cool.

It would be remiss of me as the director of a short film festival to not ask Shelley about her short film work, which include two titles Love Story written and directed by Amit Gupta , and Catalyst , written and directed by Matthew Losasso.

I think he's incredibly talented, and when I saw the script I thought it just makes sense to me. It was a no-brainer. Again, it was that idea of being offered a certain amount of artistic license. He wanted to see what I could bring.

That's just a gift, as an actor, and it just turned out to be one of those lovely jobs. I loved that film. Catalyst, again, I really loved the work of the director. He's done a lot of interesting things like he directing some BBC idents, which I'd always seen and thought they looked like little movies.

So when he asked me to do this, again, it just felt, why would I not do this? It just felt natural to say yes, and that was one where I feel like maybe I just jumped into it not really knowing what I was doing. He has a really good visual eye, so you just felt like you could trust somebody and just let go. That was a lesson to me, so from one short film where I felt like I could bring everything I want, to another where I was questioning things and needed to trust in his scenario.

Again, I think it was the right thing to do. Short films are really good, because they challenge you as an actor in different ways. You can ask yourself questions as a performer, and how you want to operate within the realms of that script. I just think it's a way to explore another element of your performance. For many short filmmakers, it's difficult to know how to approach actors of a calibre and profile similar to Shelley. The assumption is that either they or their agents would have no interest in a short film project.

I ask if short films are projects that such actors do consider when approaches are made. She has been married to actor Jonathan Kerrigan for about a decade and the couple has one child together. No matter how talented a person is, the road to becoming a professional actor is never easy.

For a while, she was hired to entertain children at corporate events. She would have to dress in pirate or fairy costumes and keep the children engaged while the adults enjoyed the rest of the party.

As you can imagine, this job had lots of challenging moments. Shelley has acted in several mediums over the course of her career, and many will be surprised to know that she has felt especially free doing movies. Shelley has worked on quite a few American projects throughout the years, but unlike many actors from abroad, she has never settled permanently in the United States.
