‘Up For Grabs’ Casting Director Sam Jones: “Madonna is lovely”

Casting director Sam Jones, who casted Madonna’s West End debut Up For Grabs (2000), says Madonna was very down-to-earth.

“When you have a big name, you have to think about the qualities the other actors need to complement them.
You always have to make the most interesting combination possible.
Madonna was lovely, she didn’t behave like a diva.
She really enjoyed it and threw herself into it.
It was quite an event.”
