Rachael Bella

I just thought that through this stressful time in my life, I would like to focus on some of the funny things that have happened to me (being an actress and all).
Have you ever gone into an interview and they request you to suddenly dance? (Yes, I know auditions are different, but this movie had no dancing in it.) So what do you say?

Rachael- “Really?’
Casting- “Oh yes”
Rachael- “But there’s no music..”
Casting- “I know, just dance some hip hop for us with no music.”
Rachael- “Ok….”

Now I am the whitest girl with no rhythm. I was in a movie once where I had to “pretend” to play the drums and I LOOKED so offbeat they had to switch me to be the bassist. That’s bad.
So I danced. I danced my ass off. And I sucked. I’m sure I looked similar to Elaine’s dancing in Seinfeld. In any case, I have always been traumatized by that audition and every time I drive by that casting office (yes, it was burned into my memory), I feel quite nauseous.
I have been asked to strip down to my underwear all the way to being asked to crawl around on the floor and cry. Nothing in the world like being an actor.

This is my first real post and I know I have a lot to say but where to begin… I have been exposed to the most ridiculous egos, situations and places most people never want to be exposed to. That being said, I wouldn’t change the way my life has unfolded at all. 

I’ll do a slight recap of my most recent years. 

Did a movie called “Jimmy & Judy” where I met my future husband. All problems aside, we were together for 5 years and had a beautiful child together. But that has ended now for numerous  reasons and so through my experience of seeing what it’s like to be somewhat famous (my ex husband, Edward Furlong), I have decided that “the industry” is the silliest, craziest field you could ever go into.

I think I’ll share some of those situations with anyone who wants to hear them… Until next time…
