Breakout ‘Borat’ star Maria Bakalova conquers Hollywood
Associated PressSo what did YOU do at 5 a.m. after staying up all night for your prom? On the morning she heard about the Globes nomination -- a proud first for a Bulgarian -- an exhilarated Bakalova sat down for a Zoom interview, so excited that she had to calm down by reminding herself: “Be strong Maria, you’re a strong Balkan girl!” AP: How are you doing? Is it happening?” And I finally realized maybe 20 minutes later, “Oh, my God, it IS happening.” And with the company of all of these incredible actors that I’ve been admiring my entire life … and the people from Bulgaria, because it’s the first nomination for an actor in the West. And now when it’s happening and when we have the first step, it is something I hope we are going to keep developing and we’re going to keep opening doors, because there are some really incredible artists from Eastern Europe, from Bulgaria. BAKALOVA: Yes, I just wanted to hear him and to congratulate him, because Sacha is an unbelievable actor, not only in “Borat,” but in everything that he’s been doing.
