It’s every ’struggling-to-make-it-in-Hollywood’ British gal’s worst nightmare.
Anna Friel was just one of many British stars putting a brave face on it after the Golden Globes red carpet event was replaced by a simple press conference last night. Plans for a glitzy bash were abandoned after striking writers threatened to protest at the event, and actors warned they’d stay at home rather than cross the picket line.
None of which reached poor Anna until she’d picked out her dress! The former Brookside star was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Series for hit US show Pushing Daisies, but didn’t get to have her big night on the red carpet. She told the Metro newspaper:
‘On the day I found out they weren’t going to happen,my stylist was in the car and I had all these dresses in the back of the car. It was like torture’.
Hmm, wonder I if she still tried them all on and danced around her house like I do?
Anyhoo, Cinderella has decided she will still go to the ball (just a slightly different one), as she isn’t going to let her chosen dress go to waste. Thrifty little Anna said: ‘I’m not going to tell you what dress it was because I am going to wear it to something else!’
