About the Author




UK native Annabel Schofield started her career as an international fashion model in the 1980’s. She starred in numerous advertising campaigns including Gianni Versace, Yves St. Laurent, Revlon and Levis, appeared on over 60 magazine covers and in more than 120 TV commercials. The peak of her modeling career came when she starred in the iconic Bugle Boy Jeans commercial, driving through the desert in a black Ferrari, finally uttering the immortal line, “Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?” 





From fashion she transitioned to acting, and shortly after arriving in Los Angeles was snapped up by the producers of the seminal nighttime soap, “Dallas”. Annabel subsequently starred in many independent films, including “Dragonard” with the late Eartha Kitt and Oliver Reed, “Solar Crisis” with Peter Boyle and Jack Palance, “Exit in Red” with Mickey Rourke and “Midnight Blue” with Harry Dean Stanton. 



After several successful years as an actress, Annabel decided to move behind the camera. She produced and directed the documentary “Face Value” which lifts the veil off modeling schools, and wrote, produced and directed the romantic comedy “Flash!” a feature film which reveals what really happens on location shoots. She also co-wrote and produced the Internet dating reality show, “LogIn4Love”.









Annabel has written and co-written several  screenplays including “College Boys,” “The Ravens of the Tower“Shadowed Angel”“The Fisherman & His Soul”and “The Soundtrack of My Life” – a semi autobiographical romp through the vagaries of one actress’ life in Hollywood during the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. The latter is the basis for “The Cherry Alignment” which is her first novel.




Annabel also works extensively in feature film production, recently on “How Do You Know” with Academy Award-winning director, James L. Brooks, Terry Gilliam’s “The Brothers Grimm”,  “Doom” for Universal Studios and  “City Of Ember”starring Bill Murray and Tim Robbins. 

Annabel Schofield currently resides in Los Angeles and runs her own photographic production company, Bella*Bene Productions.

Really, you worked on "Doom"? - I loved that game and I loved that movie, particularly the "First Person Shooter" segment where Karl Urban goes off. I take it that's the right "Doom".

At one point, I dreamed about selling all of my worldly goods and making my way to Wellington, NZ, to knock on Peter Jackson's door to beg for a job at Weta Digital, but that was in 2003-2004 when I was gawking at Return of the King. And now they are in the middle of The Hobbit. It was just, watching the special features and thinking, "Why could I never get a job working with people like that who love their work (and each other) and produce all that wonderful imagery?" And I wondered if I could do any work like that if I had the tools to do it, I even tried getting trial versions of 3DSMax, but I am not patient enough to concentrate on something like that. But I would have asked for a Job as a Janitor or a Computer Tech just to be there.

I was just too ill to do it, maybe just too scared to take any kind of chance like that. On the other hand, even if I did sell all my possessions, I probably would not get enough to stay afloat long, much less fly to NZ, and I an deathly afraid of flying. That's probably way too much info so I'll stop here. I Followed you here from IMDB where I saw you post, missed you by just a couple of months. God Bless.

Sorry for barging your Blogspot, you can barge mine if you want. I'll leave now.
