IN Waterworld, everybody looks out for Tina Majorino's spunky character Enola. In Hollywood, everybody looks out for Tina Majorino. Period.
Enola's tattooed back bears the secret map to the highly sought after 'Dryland'. In real life, Majorino bears the name-tag of a young star who can create convincing characters that provide good box office pull.
At the tender age of 10, Majorino already has two Hollywood motion pictures under her belt - When a Man Loves a Woman (with Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan) and Corrina, Corrina (with Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta).
Now she can add to her credentials a starring role in the most expensive movie ever made. With a budget of around US$180 million (around HK$1 billion), Waterworld also stars Kevin Costner and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
So how does it feel to rub shoulders with movie big names, such as Kevin Costner? 'I met Kevin Costner in Hawaii and he taught me to swim [in the film] and stuff, then we flew to Los Angeles for more filming.
'It was fun and really exciting,' Majorino said.
