Mathilda May, who still looks quite stunning, candidly talks about playing the often nude Space Girl in Tobe Hooper's gloriously bonkers sci-fi/horror cult classic "Lifeforce" in this engrossing and informative fifteen-minute featurette. May reveals that she was originally a ballet dancer with no aspirations towards being an actress and, since she didn't speak a word of English at the time, had to learn her lines phonetically for her audition for "Lifeforce." Not surprisingly, May admits that she was initially embarrassed by all the extensive nudity that the part called for. May remembers Hooper as being rather shy and introverted, but also nice and gentle. May further notes that Steve Railsback was very nice and that Frank Finlay was an elegant gentleman who helped her learn English during the six months she spent in England for "Lifeforce." Best of all, May relates a great story about the scene with her all covered in blood being shot on her birthday. Loaded with choice film clips, it's essential viewing for "Lifeforce" fans.
