Comments on: Georgina quits again http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2007/02/georgina_quits_again.html DPF's Kiwiblog - Fomenting Happy Mischief since 2003 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:14:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: the deity formerly known as nigel6888 http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2007/02/georgina_quits_again.html#comment-283112 the deity formerly known as nigel6888 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 20:04:14 +0000 http://kiwiblog-test.inspire.net.nz/wordpress/?p=15875#comment-283112 Sorry David, but theatre is something I know very well. Its hard enough to make a decent wage without some primadonna deciding that its too hard. [incidentally, reading the report it looks like Fortune pulled the plug and sacked her because she wasnt pulling her weight]. I also listened to Geoff Robinson interview poor brave Georgina and ooze sympathy at her difficult decision. Actually she stuffed: a producer, a director, another actor, a lighting and sound engineer (possibly 2 people) a publicist, the Theatre and the crew. All because she found acting a bit hard. So anyway, thats what led to my comment. If you feel its too harsh, well I apologise - its your blog and you should feel comfortable with the tone of the discourse.

She has failed at everything else she did, so why should she be expected to stop now? More fool Fortune for committing a slot, money and an actor and director to their "celebrity" experience. I just hope the poor buggers get paid, particularly the actor, the crew and the director who will have worked their asses off just to see this prima donna decide that learning her lines was too hard. I guess she still has her former "profession" to fall back on, I hear that that clientele are pretty undemanding... what else did anyone expect of Beyer?

Who would take her on for anything. I think she might have stuffed any career in the acting world. So she moves on to the Wellington mayoralty. Fat chance I think.
