Accidental winner

Sally Andrews won Best Actress at this year’s San Diego Film Festival for her starring role in NZ feature, Her Majesty. The 15-year-old Hutt Valley High School student is a self-described “accidental actress,” who only joined a talent agency because her younger cousin did and almost didn’t bother auditioning for her award winning part. Her Majesty is set in NZ in 1953, against the backdrop of Queen Elizabeth’s royal tour.
