Being an actor is a very special job. An actor or actress usually works in the theatre, but we can see them in movies too. Being an actor means, that you must pretend that you are someone else. This can be fun but also very hard, because you must change your character, voice and you have to make alive this person even if he/she doesn’t exsist. The most important thing is that you must learn all those long texts. Positive sides of this job are that you can become very famous like Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Depp, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie,… You can become a very rich person too and if you are popular, everybody loves you. And you can wear very unusual dresses – special dresses that only you have and no-one else. But the negative sides are that sometimes you must work all day or all night. The fame sometimes isn’t very positive. You can’t have a private life and all those pressmen can be very tiring with all those questions, photos,… We know many famous actors/actresses, but they are British or American. We sometimes forget that in Slovenia we have many famous actors/actresses. I will describe one of them:

MILENA ZUPANČIČ

Milena Zupančič was born on 18th December, 1946 in Jesenice. She lived with her mother and she didn’t know her father. When she was six, she went to school in Bohinjska Bela. She studied in a special school where she learned acting. She is the most famous Slovenian actress and she usually acts in movies. Her most famous movie is Cvetje v jeseni by Ivan Tavčar. In this movie she plays a young girl called Meta who falls in love with Janez (the main character). She also acts in theatres. Her the most famous plays are: Romeo in Julija, Somelov vrt,… She got two important rewards, too: Boršnikov prstan and Prešernova nagrada. I like her because I think that she is a very interesting person and a very good actress.
