JENNY CRAIG COMMERCIAL
Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 06:33PM 
Back in July, Carrie Fisher arrived in Toronto, to start a 6 week run of her one woman stage show Wishful Drinking with Mirvish Productions at the Royal Alexander Theatre...GREAT show by the way! I was hired to do her makeup for her day of press for the show.
For those of you who don't know who Carrie Fisher is, she played the iconic role of "Princess Leia" in the epic Star Wars Trilogy. She is also daughter to the 1950's Hollywood entertainers Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.
The day started at 7am in her downtown Toronto hotel room. Me and the hairdresser got her ready in a half hour and then we were off to start the day. First stop was my home Breakfast Television, next stop was the Jian Ghomeshi Show. The day ended at the Royal Alexander Theatre, where 4 more television stations set up for interviews.
Throughout the day, Carrie regailed us with her humour and interesting stories. She liked my work and we got along so well, that 2 weeks later she requested my services for her NEW Jenny Craig TV
commercial and print ads, shot here in Toronto.
The commercial is now on the air...keep your eyes open for it! To the left is one of the many pics taken that day by Jenny Craig for the before and after pics.
I found Carrie Fisher to be kind, hilarious and a GREAT story teller. She has the greatest sense of humour and it was a complete pleasure working with her.
Here are some behind the scenes pics from the set of the commercial.
I made sure to take the pic of me and Carrie below, for my brother...he is the biggest Star Wars fan and he was completely JEALOUS!!!! Lol!
