Chandra West
Where youve seen her:
She got her first breaks in low-budget masterpieces like
Universal Soldier III, Puppet Master 4, and NBCs
The David Cassidy Story, but appears with Val Kilmer in the upcoming
The Salton Sea.
Chandra on dance fever:
When I was five years old, I told my parents that I wanted to take ballet. So ballet was the focus of my life
until puberty. Then I discovered boys and started dating a guy with a mohawk whod come to my ballet class and freak everybody out. Shortly after that is when I quit.
Chandra on faking it:
My death scene in
The Salton Sea is really weird. I mean, I get shot in the head. What experience can you possibly draw from? Theres nothing you can compare it to, really.
The homesick blues:
I go back to Canada every chance I get. The last time I was supposed to go back, I couldnt get a flight, so I had to take a bus, which was a total nightmare. You end up eating Burger King three times a day. I wont be doing that again.
