[QUOTE="Miss Texas 1967, post: 418260, member: 36"] I am fascinate with the logistics of the actual directing that would have gone on. You have an American actress who (I don't think) speaks Italian, speaking dialogue and reacting, while the other actors are actually speaking Italian. It just seems like such an odd choice. It's a contemporary film, Tina's character is playing a doctor. She's on the poster and credited as a main cast member so you're probably right as far as the recognisable name thing goes, just seems so random to me lol. I wish there was an easily accessible English version too because the plot is difficult to follow even from translated descriptions. I agree. After rewatching and looking at other projects Tina has been involved in, it's become more evident that she's truly playing a character, and doing so with a lot of nuance. At first glance, it might seem like she's just "playing herself," but in reality, there's a mix of naivety, humor, and a calculated superficiality that she carefully crafts. She's not just acting as an actress portraying an actress; she's bringing a deeper level to the role. Ginger is funny, deadpan, and effortlessly sexy, yet it's clear that Tina is working hard to project that image. Even just switching to Ginger's voice is an act separating the character from the actress. I can absolutely understand how frustrating it must be to be continuously compared to the character and have people constantly bring it up, especially when it was a role she played for just three years.
