DESCRIPTION

I love Samantha Barks! She is sweet, bubbly, jovial all in one brilliant package! She was happy as a clam too when I interviewed her for “Les Miserables.” She is making her feature film debut and oh my, what a debut it is! She nails it as the lovelorn Eponine. The sassy showgirl whose humble beginnings started in a U.K. reality show, “I’d Do Anything,” is on her way to bigger and better things!

In this interview, yes, I sang to her, but we’ll get to that:

*** Why “Les Miserables” is her biggest passion
*** Her climb to fame
*** Her natural performance as Eponine
*** How she got that part
*** What Cameron Mackintosh did to tell her she got the part
*** Her super-skinny waist – to look waif-like
*** Singing “On My Own” with Eponine aka Samantha Barks
