Maddie on Fuji TV

Maddie just finished shooting 25 episodes of a short (6 minute) program about the history of cars for a major Japanese TV network. She's the narrator on the show that airs every Sunday night for six months, sponsored by Mercedes-Benz. She really got the star treatment with her name on the dressing room door, makeup and wardrobe ladies who tended to her every need, and treats delivered to her by the producer and sponsors. On her part, she was a real professional even under the pressure of being a novice and the sole performer in a big studio with about 20 people working on the shoots. She worked long hours and completely impressed everyone with her maturity and her ability to memorize her lines on the spot and take direction in Japanese (no translator was present). At the end of the last day of filming she was thanked with a huge applause by the crew and everyone involved. I took some pictures of her at work in the studio and on the monitor outside the sound stage. (Click on pictures to enlarge.)
