SAMANTHA Barks mixed with Hollywood’s top guns on Monday night at a glittering awards ceremony held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills.
The Manx singer and actress was there to receive a Hollywood Spotlight Award at the Hollywood Film Awards Gala Ceremony. The Spotlight Awards are handed out annually to ‘exciting new talents’ in the film world.
Sam was chosen, said an awards spokesman, because she is ‘one of Hollywood’s most engaging, vivacious and talented young actresses’.
The Laxey girl will next be seen in the Tom Hooper-directed blockbuster Les Miserables, which also stars Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, and is due for release in December.
