Alexandra Boyd Interview | Playing Monkey Island's Elaine Marley & Acting in Titanic

Part of the Adventure Game Hotspot Network! Cressup speaks to actor, writer and director Alexandra Boyd, who Monkey Island fans may know as the voice of Elaine Marley in Curse, Tales and Return. As well as other film work she's also directed a documentary about her and other supporting cast members' time on the movie Titanic, titled "Ship of Dreams: Titanic Movie Diaries".

They chat about how she came to audition as Elaine, whether she's met Dominic Armato, why she isn't in the Monkey Island edition of Sea of Thieves, what it was like working with James Cameron, Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet, and when her documentary will be released.
