A Fuller Lifestyle

RT: Any feedback as yet?
Liz: No idea. But I’ve just had two meetings with an American agent, ICM, which is one of the biggest agents in the world and they’ve asked me to go over. They’ve asked me out to America, so I can write with TV writers and big production companies over there, and then audition for films and different things like that.

RT: So is your ultimate aim to be an actress?
Liz: No, I don’t think so. I only wanted to be a TV presenter when I was little and along the way there was a film made in my hometown called Twin Town. It was filmed in Swansea and I knew one of the writers and he asked me if I would play one of the sisters and I turned it down saying I don’t act. So all my life I feel as if I’ve been turning down acting parts and then two months ago I was signed to the International Artists agency. One of their suggestions was: ‘Liz, you need acting lessons because you need to be an all-rounder’, because auditions come in for films and TV and if I just keep saying ‘I’m just gonna do that’, ‘I’m not going to do anything else’, it actually gets to the point where they’re gonna think I’m too fussy. I think I may have been missing a lot of opportunities because I’ve been like that most of the time.

RT: Did you start with modelling?
Liz: Yes, I started modelling at the age of 15 or 16, and I entered all the beauty pageants and won Miss Great Britain. They sent me around the world, first to LA for three months then Taiwan, Hong Kong, Asia, Mexico, Las Vegas, Europe, and Portugal. I was sent to so many different places and at the time I was still at university. There was no way I could have travelled like that as a student, so it was good.

RT: Did you still manage to complete your university degree?
Liz: A week before my finals I was in Las Vegas doing a Hawaiian Tropic model. I was away for a month right up to a week before my finals at uni. I mean, it was really silly, my mum was screaming, get back to Wales, get back to Wales, study, finish your degree and then go. I got a 2:2, I think if I had studied more I would have got a 2:1.
