How to Act Like an Actress: A blog on how an actress prepares for roles, films and other acting events.
It is a blog about acting, written by an actress. It’s not an acting blog, it’s a blog about acting and the way I act. It’s called How To Act Like An Actress because I’m writing it as a way of explaining how actors prepare for roles, films and other acting events. That’s why I’m here, I want to be able to share my thoughts with you.
I’ve been an actress since 2007, when I was cast in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”. Since then I’ve worked in film and TV as well as playing roles in stage plays. My most recent role was playing Bella Lestrange in The Hobbit movies (yes, she looks like me in the second film).
I am also a writer, producer and director of short films, which you can watch at my website: www.bellalestrangeactor.com
My first short film was called “The Devil Wears Prada”. It won the BAFTA award for best short film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2014.

Bella Lestrange is a British actress known for her role in the Harry Potter film series. This blog is about how she prepared for the role of Bellatrix Lestrange in the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Bella acted like an actress by acting like an actress. Bella was not born as a female. She had to act as one in order to be treated as one. It was a very hard task and she had to work hard every day to achieve it.
She had to change her voice, walk and mannerism so that no one would ever be able to tell that she was not a woman. She even had to learn how to apply makeup and wear clothes that were suitable for women. She also had to learn how to talk with other people who did not know that she was acting like an actress.
The role of Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is considered to be the most challenging of all roles that she has played till date. Because of this, Bella had made sure that she prepared well for this role by acting like an actress so that when people see her on screen they will think that she is really a woman.
I will be posting on this blog to help other actresses with preparing for their roles, films and any other acting events.
I will also show you how I am preparing for my role as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films.
Please feel free to post questions and comments for me here.
Actress Bella Lestrange is one of the busiest women in Hollywood, juggling the demands of motherhood, acting and producing. Here she reveals what it takes to be a successful actress.
Bella Lestrange was born in Guildford, Surrey, on 22nd August 1981. She started her career on stage at the Guildford School of Acting before playing roles in soap operas and films, including ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘The Hunger Games’. She has also worked as a producer on films such as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Harry Potter’.
I’m Bella Lestrange and I am a professional actress. The first thing I do when I get a role is to read the script and understand the character, then I research the character. For example, if it was a historical character, I would research the character’s background with books, pictures, documentaries and interviews. Then I’d watch any available recordings of the person’s life and compare that to my director’s vision for the film or play. Lastly, I’d write down notes on my character for reference during filming or on set.
I have done many different types of roles over the years but one of my favorites was portraying an alien in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987-1994). There were so many different types of aliens in that show that it was always fun trying out new ones each week!
