Veteran actress Wendy Makkena made a radiant appearance at the Sunderland Shorts Film Festival last month, standing out at the premiere of her latest project.
Dressed with effortless style and confidence in a black outfit with a wide-brimmed cream-colored hat, the Sister Act star, 66, captivated festival-goers and photographers alike with her ageless appearance—even moreso due to the rarity of the public outing.
At the film festival—an acclaimed BIFA-qualifying event marking its 10th anniversary—Whispers of Freedom—in which she plays Karin Gueffroy—had its world premiere on May 16, with Makkena among the key cast present.
