Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sarah Steele

I'd love to do a movie with females in it, and not necessarily the female version of 'The Hangover,' but I'd love to.

Trees and bushes had to be added, a village in the background required removal, and clothing was even added to the actress. It was a complete and all encompassing transformation.
