| | |  Emma Watson prepping for role in Ballet Shoes
It was reported a few days ago that Emma Watson would be starring in Ballet Shoes, a BBC drama based on a novel by Noel Streatfield. More information about her role in the piece has emerged. Quote:
"Hot young talent Lucy Boynton has been signed up to play the lead, Posy, while Emma will play Pauline, who yearns to become an actress," I'm told.
"It's a real coup de coeur for Emma, who loved the book as a child and practised ballet for years. She is having her fittings done at the moment and is to have her hair dyed white-blonde for the part."
The BBC Press Office also has further details about the plot: Quote:
Set in Thirties London, Ballet Shoes tells the exhilarating tale of orphans Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil, who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, Gum, and raised as sisters by his selfless niece.
The timeless and uplifting story revolves around each girl's struggle to fulfil her dreams: Pauline longs to be an actress, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems born to be a ballerina.
But when Gum disappears, the money runs out – and the girls have a fight on their hands. Their struggle to balance personal ambition with the need to survive physically, emotionally, and financially, proves moving and comic by turns.
The 90-minute programme set to air at Christmas also stars Victoria Wood, Marc Warren, and fellow Harry Potter film actor Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon).  | |

Hmmm to be honest Posy in the books isn't the "star"... we see more of Pauline really. I would think we'd see more of Pauline/Emma, even if Posy is more central to the story.

White blonde hair. Hmmm...that should be interesting. I have the book "Ballet Shoes" but I've never read it. I probably should since I'm a ballerina. That's cool Emma's in it!
