Tell us you know just 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: quickly what the show is about and about your character, Margo. 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 2: Paper Dolls is about the rise and fall of a 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: popular girl band in the year two thousand and I 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: play Margot Murray. So she's the publicity director and she's 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: really balls, the career driven woman who's basically trying to 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 2: make it in a man's world. But you know, it's 13 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: kind of an exploration of power and to kind of 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: look at the undercurrent of the music industry at that time. 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what a strange time it was. So is 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 3: this This is actually based on the from Belinda Chapel 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: who was in Bardo And I've heard a podcast recently 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: with Belinda in and that group had everything, they had, 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: a thief in the band, are jealousy, they had betrayal. 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 4: That sounds like a show. 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: Oh you need the drama. It's all about the drama. 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: And this show is very, very dramatic, so you're going 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: to get a lot of that. 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: An all female team has created the show, and I 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: imagine you know, when you mentioned it, it's a girl 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: band in the year two thousand, it must shed a 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: light on the darker pre me to era for women 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: in the music industry. 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 4: That was some of the worst times. 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh absolutely, I know. So things are obviously very 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: different these days, but back then it was like, you know, 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: you had to fight to get a seat at the 33 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: table and to be seen as an equal. So it's 34 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: really interesting we really get to explore that in this show, 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: which is you know, it's quite confronting. 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: And for the girls in the band that you know themselves, 37 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: so there's no doubt we knew at the time these 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: people were being exploited. Now look back on it, it's 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: it's it's uncomfortable. I mean, I just read Britney Spears 40 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: book for example, the. 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: Whole I haven't read that. 42 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I was curious. I had to have a look. It 43 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: won't take you long. It's a quick rate, it is. 44 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: It is a pretty quick, a big. 45 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 2: Fat so I'm sure I'll actually love it. I love 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: it and I'm going to go get a coffee. 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: Now facinating, it is fascinating, but it was. It was 48 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: a an you know, to look back on an uncomfortable time. 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, you know. And and to be honest, I'm 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: sure it still exists now. It's not completely gold very much. Yeah, 51 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's still there. And I think that's 52 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 2: this show really kind of explores that, you know, the 53 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: secretion and the abuse of power that these young artists 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: you know, had to face they were young. 55 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: That's and vulnerable. 56 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 3: There are so many yeah, I mean rock and rolls 57 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: littered with young people who signed contracts and sign things away, 58 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: but even more so especially in the bands that were 59 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 3: put together. In manufactured bands. 60 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, you know, it's like signing your life away 61 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: and also your identity, you know, kind of like you 62 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: will be who we want you to be. It's yeah, 63 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: it's just a really confronting thing. So but that's when 64 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: my character comes into it. And I can't give too 65 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: much to her, but you will see what happens. I 66 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: think my character is a bit of a she's a powerhouse, 67 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: bit of a rock star, you know, kind of comes 68 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: along and her intention is to create change and whatnot. 69 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: But I can't go too much into it. Yeah, it 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: was a very cool character to play. It was she 71 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: was awesome and I got the role literally, you know, 72 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: I got a sign call, I got the offer, and 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: then I said, okay, this looks great. When are they 74 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: shooting it? So like you're a flyer in a day. 75 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: So I wasa plane and out to Sydney and then 76 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: straight on set a week later. So it was very fast, 77 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: but it was a lot of fun shooting it, and 78 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: the girls were just phenomenal. I think that was probably 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: one of my biggest concern signing, and I was like, 80 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: how are you going to find five girls that can 81 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: sing and and act but not just act face some 82 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: really full on things, concepts and stuff that they have 83 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: to you know, do we want really incredible dramatic actresses? 84 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: And so it was a really long casting process, I 85 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: think five months oh wow to find the girls. But 86 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 2: then when I started to work with them, I was like, 87 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: oh my god, every single one of them were just 88 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: absolutely brilliant us completely completely. I mean I say, went 89 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: up and started a real band. Now maybe huge, it's 90 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: so good, it's so good and the music is so fantastic. Well, 91 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: I think that will be released. 92 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, what pop song do you have a soft spot for? 93 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: Or bads? 94 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 2: Oh god? You know, back in those days I was 95 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: a bit of a fan of in Vogue. Yeah, I 96 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: love Britney Spears still do. Yeah, Oh look, I'd have 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: to go through the old records collections to be honest. 98 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: For your mind. The rest will follow my head. 99 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: That there's a show sort of head towards focusing when 100 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: we talk about the modern the money and the things 101 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: that are surrendered. They stick a bunch of girls in 102 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: a house or whatever it might be. But do they 103 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: focus on the body issues as well? They had to 104 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: be a certain size, and eating disorders come in when 105 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: they have to wear certain outfits. 106 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 4: Touch on that. 107 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: Oh look, it is briefly touched on because you know 108 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: that was something of the era of it. But times 109 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: have changed so much and it's so welcomed. It's kind 110 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: of like be your individual self now and that's what 111 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: people love and that's what sells, which is so refreshing. 112 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: But yeah, of course it was. That was definitely a 113 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: hot time in those days. And then briefly touched on 114 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: in the show for sure. 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: So you live in Florida now, which is quite different 116 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: to I believe you were born in Denmark, in Australia, 117 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: in Western Australia.
