AS SEEN ON
“As always, much depends on the casting. I’d already imagined the sylph being like Tinkerbell, and I cast Maxine Fone in the role.
She was just perfect. She’s got a naughty side to her, she can look very beautiful and she’s not a woman that will accept playing a little pretty, nothingy sort of female character. She has to have a bit more spunk. And, while everyone else was researching their human characters, she did lots of research into sylphs and fairies. It was very much her thing: she loves anything gothic; she loves horror movies.”
