The Practice may have made a star out of Marla Sokoloff, but one look at her acting resume and evidence of screen magic is magnanimous.
Flower Girl Marla SokoloffSokoloff currently stars in Flower Girl from the classic cinema-for-television of The Hallmark Channel. The November 15 premiere of Flower Girl on the network hits TV screens at 8 pm.
Sokoloff phoned SheKnows for an exclusive chat about being a Flower Girl on the Hallmark Channel while simultaneously planning her own wedding and how wedding scenes from the film are inspiring her own nuptials.
Marla Sokoloff: Hello, Joel.
SheKnows: Well, hello, Marla, how are you?
Marla Sokoloff: I’m excellent, how are you?
SheKnows: I’m doing great, thanks for phoning SheKnows about your new Hallmark movie, Flower Girl. I have to start by asking what was it like just to spend time with Marion Ross?
Marla Sokoloff: (Laughs) It was amazing. She’s such a talent and such a legend and an absolute sweetheart to boot. My favorite part of Marion was that she has kind of a wicked sense of humor. Every once and a while she would say something totally jolting that you would never expect Marion Ross to say (laughs).
SheKnows: What was the big appeal for you — not just for Flower Girl — but about your character in Flower Girl?
Marla Sokoloff: It’s really funny. I got the job about a week after I got engaged in my real life.
SheKnows: You kidding! Congratulations.
Marla Sokoloff: Yeah! Thanks, I was really excited to be involved in a project that was wedding related. Because when you are engaged, that is really all you care about or want to talk about (laughs). So it was fun to be completely obsessed with it in my real life and go to work and dealing with beautiful flowers and trying on beautiful wedding dresses.
Marla SokoloffSheKnows: Talk about timing, too…
Marla Sokoloff: Yeah, it was very strange.
SheKnows: Did you get any ideas for your own wedding?
Marla Sokoloff: I did, it’s funny, mainly flower ideas.
SheKnows: Sure…
Marla Sokoloff: I took a lot of pictures and emailed them to my wedding planner when an arrangement would come in that I liked.
SheKnows: I wondered.
Marla Sokoloff: Laughs
