LOS ANGELES - Could there be Oscar gold ahead for Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen?
Fresh from the Turin winter games, where she came back from a fall to take second place in figure skating, Cohen has taken a spin into the Hollywood arena.
The diminutive brunette served as a special correspondent for TV's "Inside Edition" at Sunday's Academy Awards and the star-studded parties that followed. Her whirl through the celebrity world led to an offer for a cameo role in an upcoming picture, she said.
Actor-comedian Ben Stiller approached her at the Vanity Fair party to talk about his next project: a comedy focusing on figure skating, Cohen said.
"I want to do it," she said. "It's not like it would be a stretch and hopefully I'll get to be funny."
Cohen, 21, said the world of competitive skating should provide ample comedic material.
"There are a lot of characters in skating," she said.
