Worship : Marie Colomb “watched all the dailies and premiums of Loft Story”
Marie Colomb who was only 6 years old when Loft Story was broadcast for the first time on television, returned to the microphone of Télé-Loisirs on her preparation to play Loana. “I tried to learn as much as I could about her. I watched all the dailies and premiums of Loft Story. I also devoured her biography She called me… Miette [parue en 2001 aux éditions Fayard, ndlr]. I cried several times while reading it. I wanted to get as close as possible to her by studying all her facets.”she told us. “I was in first grade when Loft Story aired, so I was too young to watch. But a primary school friend reminded me that when we were little, we played Loft Story in the playground. recess! I have no memory of it, but she remembers it very well, so I played the loft girl before her time!”
Worship : Bleached hair, breast prostheses… Marie Colomb reveals her metamorphosis
Marie Colomb also told us how she had physically stepped into the shoes of the loft owner who gave her consent for this series: “I worked with a coach on her approach and her voice. I bleached my hair. They shaved part of my eyebrows. I wore blue contact lenses like her in the Loft, and my skin was spray tanned every day. Every morning before shooting, and for three hours, they put on breast prostheses, and false nails of course! Wearing platform shoes also helped me a lot in embodying her.” And the result is stunning!
