I'm ready for my close-up...




Today my Mommy and Daddy finally agreed that it was time to get my pretty face in front of a movie camera. Their friends brother (an NYU film student) was filming a short film at the NYU soundstages. It was 35mm and had a real professional crew. They needed me to cry, then to sleep, then to cry again, and then to giggle. I was more than happy to oblige. Now they call me One-Take Daphne. That's me in the picture above taking a nap between scenes. It's exhausting work. Like every movie star, I had a stand-in. Because real babies were in short supply, they used a doll to plan out the scenes before I came to set. They referred to the stand-in as "horror baby". Creepy thing, it felt like it was staring at me.
