Engagement after Cinematic Success
The engagement announcement comes only a few months after Abela impressively portrayed the late singer Amy Winehouse in the biopic "Back to Black" (2024). "I'm really excited. It doesn't feel like I'm going to be singing," she told "People" Magazine in April during the film's world premiere in London.
"When you embody a character, you do what you have to do," she continued. "And that's my job as an actress, to embody her in every moment of her life and be able to tell the story in every single moment of her life."
Furthermore, she gushed about Amy Winehouse, who died in 2011 at the age of 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning: "How unique she was as an artist, how authentic, as a songwriter, one of the most incredible poets," said Marisa Abela.
