Real Life Barbie Scoops Life Story Film Contract with Japanese TV

A woman from St. Neots in Cambridgeshire - who has had more than £200,000-worth of cosmetic surgery - has signed an exclusive contract to have a film of her life story produced and broadcast in Japan.

NTV (Nippon Television) - Japan's first national TV network - has swooped to sign up 46-year-old Sarah Burge for the company’s top-rated The World Astonishing News show. Filming in Cambridgeshire has already been completed.

The show is now in production and will be aired to an expected audience of more than two and a half million Japanese TV viewers in September. This will be the first time Sarah’s story has been told on TV anywhere in the world.

Mother-of-three Sarah, know in the media as the Real Life Barbie, said,

“I’m absolutely delighted with the filming. I’ve always been a colourful character and I knew it would only be a matter of time before it captured the imagination of film producers.

“The Japanese production has been extremely efficient and thorough. In fact their research revealed life events that even I’d forgotten about! I can’t wait to see the finished version.”

The film will feature a combination of live shots of Sarah and family in and around her home town of St Neots. It will also include dramatised versions of key events in Sarah’s life played out by Japanese actors and actresses.

The story takes the viewers from Sarah’s first cosmetic procedure at the age of nine and goes on to reveal Sarah’s experiences as a Playboy bunny girl and now as an aesthetic consultant and international cosmetic surgery ambassador.

Only last month Sarah revealed that she had also been invited to star in a horror film which is expected to go into production later in the year. But filming for that project may now have to be re-arranged around a personal promotional tour in Japan before Sarah’s life story is broadcast.

Sarah adds,

“There is so much to organise between now and September. The response to my previous interviews and media appearances has been a little overwhelming. I’ve had thousands of emails from well wishers.

“I want to make the most of this new opportunity. I’m looking forward to making contact with a whole new audience in Japan – and helping even more people to appreciate the life-enhancing benefits of cosmetic surgery.”

The interest from Japan is the latest in along line of media interest both in this country and throughout the world including Singapore, Russia, Norway and Italy.

Sarah’s previous national UK media appearances on Richard and Judy, GMTV, Radio 5 and Radio 4 have generated hundreds of thousands of hits on her website www.reallifebarbie.com
