“It wasn’t really easy to find an actress for Diana’s part: she has to sing as it’s written, and its level of complicity is pretty high, she has tobe good-looking, she has to have nice figure.

In spite of the fact that she wasn’t taught acting techniques, we decided to embark on this shady enterprise.”
