Jayne's Progress

Courtesy of the Irish Times, we have news on Jayne Weisner's career. Jayne was the 2005 Antrim Rose.

In an incredibly detailed piece about Jayne. Here's a sample from the article "Every English Rose wanted the role of Johanna in Tim Burton’s film of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s Tony Award-winning musical. At 19, Wisener was initially dismissed as too old to play the teen innocent. But then she took her make up off and took the prize".

It is facinating to read of her exploits.

All here, at the Irish Times.
