A tall, fair-haired model since the late sixties, Christine Hewitt
appeared in the cantina sequence of
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) together with another
"Space Girl", Angela Staines. Although the casting call asked for
blonde girls, both of them were fitted with black beehive style wigs
for the occasion. Even though she was on screen for less than 5 seconds
in the finished film, her character received a name and a back-story
through Star Wars games and merchandising, and is listed as such on
this database. Nowadays, Christine Hewitt still works as a 'mature
model' in commercials and in uncredited roles in films such as
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
and
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001).
