PopGoesTheNews.com Sarah Polley, whose film Take This Waltz debuts at TIFF, has another reason to glow on the red carpet: She's pregnant.
The 32-year-old actress, director and screenwriter is expecting her first child with husband David Sandomierski, a doctoral law student at the University of Toronto, in March. The couple married last month in a private ceremony.
Polley wrote and directed Take This Waltz, which has its world premiere at TIFF on Saturday. Shot in Toronto and Nova Scotia last summer, it stars Michelle Williams, Sarah Silverman, Seth Rogen and Luke Kirby. Polley earned an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for her directorial debut Away from Her in 2006.
She and Sandomierski are co-writing Didi and the Bean, a children's book about a man who befriends a talking bean.
A graduate of McMaster University in Hamilton who earned his M.A. in Political Science at the University of Toronto, Sandomierski was a Parliamentary Intern and studied law at McGill University. He also served as a clerk to the Chief Justice of Canada, the Rt. Hon. Beverley McLachlin.
Toronto-born Polley, who is unabashedly active in political issues, rose to fame on the Canadian series Road to Avonlea before appearing in films like Dawn of the Dead and Splice.
