Now it's chic to be Greek

Four years ago, nia vardalos was just another struggling actress in la.Her phone never rang, and even her agent didn't believe she'd make it in the cutthroat world of hollywood.

Fast forward to a hotel suite in london last week, where the endearingly vivacious vardalos whoops with delight as she's told that my big fat greek wedding, the film she wrote and stars in, is now the secondhighest grossing film in the states.

A charming, largely autobiographical romantic comedy, it costars sex and the city's john corbett and charts the story of toula, a frumpy, unmarried 30yearold, whose greek parents have only one wish that their nice greek daughter marries a nice greek boy.Made for only $5 million peanuts in hollywood terms it has become a phenomenon that's on course to make $100 million.

A canadian greek, vardalos was with chicago's second city theatre company before she packed her bags in the mid1990s and headed for la.After a year without work, her agent finally informed vardalos that her prospects were nonexistent.

"She said, 'you're not attractive, so you're not pretty enough to be a leading lady, but you're not fat enough to be a character actress.You're not hispanic or asian, so you're not a visible minority.You're greek and there's nothing i can do with that.' I was like, 'Speak your mind woman, '"She recalls with a throaty chuckle.

It was to be the turning point in vardalos's career. "It made me laugh really hard that she had so little vision.I'd given her 100 pictures of me to send out, and when she dumped me i found out she still had 98.She hadn't even bothered submitting me for the parts i should have gone for.So i thought if i'm a greek girl in town, i need to be the greek girl in town. "

Brought up in winnipeg, vardalos had been entertaining friends for years with humorous accounts of her greek family. (She has 29 first cousins. )With nothing to lose, she put together a onewoman show in a small, 99seat theatre in la.Her aim at this stage was simply to land herself a better agent.

Soon the show was playing to packed houses.Several producers came and acknowledged its film potential, but none would countenance it remaining a greek Ralph Lauren Outlet story.

"One said, 'i'm going to change it into an italian family and get jlo [jennifer lopez] to play you.' When I said I wanted to play the lead he laughed and said, 'Get out but, if you ever want to sell me your idea, here's a big cheque.'"

Fearful that her idea would be stolen, vardalos borrowed a computer and began to write her own film script, her only prior experience of filming being a 10line part in a straighttovideo release.Only days after completing it, and still organising her own box office, she was astounded when she received a call from rita wilson, actress, producer and, most significantly, the greek wife of tom hanks.Wilson loved it.Better still, she went home and told her husband it should be a film.He turned up the following evening with his greek inlaws.

"I was backstage going, 'tom hanks is at my show, '"Vardalos recalls with a disbelief that it appears time has scarcely dimmed. "When i first went onstage, all i could see was ears because everybody was watching him. "A personal letter from hanks followed"He said they'd all laughed till greek soup came out of their noses"And, a fortnight later, he rang to say that his production company, playtone, were going to make the film.

Rejected by the major studios"All of them said we love the script, lose the girl"Playtone subsequently spent a year raising independent finance to ensure that in continuing fairytale fashion vardalos would play the lead. "That rita and tom chose to pluck me from obscurity when i didn't look like someone they should put their trust and faith in is just incredible. "

At 39 an age most actresses complain heralds an abrupt reduction of available parts she now has the pick of highpowered hollywood agents and film offers tumbling through her letterbox.Yet, surrounded as she is by blonde, stickthin actresses, she says she's certain that her future lies in character roles and cannot imagine the day will ever dawn when she feels pretty.

"In la, people are so attractive it's surreal.For years i've been saying, 'put women like me in films.' I'm an average girl.Suddenly it's chic to be greek and hollywood are calling me a nongeneric beauty, but i'm like, 'you know what, who cares?' Attractive you can only take credit for your genetics, smart and funny is what you do with your life. "
