Laurie LaJoie
Laurie LaJoie was plucked out of her pool three days before the shoot to
play Marie France after a diligent search.
A chance stop by the film creator's sister-in-law's pool prompted the casting
decision for the part. A banker by trade,
Laurie's married name is
Laurie Maselli but casting opted to use her French maiden name instead.
After the film "The Strange Case of Marie France" won best short film at
the Newport International Film Festival,
and was being enthusiastically reviewed internationally,
Laurie wrote,
"I do not have any previous acting experience,
I did Vinny a favor and it
was a lot of fun, but that is it for my acting resume!"
"See, you don't have to go to Hollywood. Hollywood makes a house
call!"
- Vin Fraioli
