Amelie had the honor to stand in for Sigourney Weaver in the movie, “Call Jane!” It was such an honor and dream come true to work with this talented Cast and Crew. Amelie wants to thank Sigourney for being a dream to work for, not to mention one of the classiest, most professional actresses in the business. Amelie wasn’t used to someone on set thanking her every day and she learned more from her than anyone else she stood in for. It was an incredible journey working with the entire Cast and Crew especially Sigourney Weaver, Elizabeth Banks, and the talented Director Phyllis Nagy. It’s a period drama inspired by the Jane Collective, a group of real life underground abortion providers.
