Eva-Maria Leonardou (Evangelia-Maria)

The rapid fame I gained in Greece immediately after graduating from the Drama School at the age of just 24 went to my head. I felt that the Earth could not keep spinning without everyone seeing my "unsurpassed" talent. I left for Hollywood. Within 6 months I had a work permit and a year later I was given the Green Card as "An Alien of Extraordinary Ability in Acting." After ten years I began to Confess every week and take the Holy Communion at a Greek Orthodox Church every Sunday. Then I realized that this "Extraordinary Ability" was not from God. I would hold a script in my hands and it repulsed me. Actors force their souls to experience all the negative emotions that Christ wants us to eliminate. My only endeavor, which God really blessed, was a short film I wrote/directed against abortions in fetuses diagnosed with birth defects: "Work of Art" watch it! I have deleted most of my other videos. They were not of God.
