An Actor’s Research
Posted by Sandra Marquez on 1/02/2007One of my favorite parts of doing my job as an actor is the research. I’ve been reading The Lost Apple by Maria de Los Angeles Torres, which has been a real eye opener. I knew a tiny bit about the Pedro Pan flights before I ever read Sonia Flew, but reading the book and learning the details has been incredible. It’s just so hard to imagine leaving family, home, language, EVERYTHING behind at 15–let alone 6 or 7. And yet, it has happened, many times in human history. I guess I feel humbled thinking about that.
