Francis Ford Coppola's Daughter
When:
Throughout the film but all appearances are on Naboo.
Where:
See above.
Story:
It's all about connections in Hollywood. Thats how some of the greatest started out, including Harrison Ford. In this shot, you can see Sache, one of the Queen's hand maidens. Playing Sache is part-time actress and successful clothing designer Sofia Coppola. Also in the film somewhere is Ford's son, Roman, who plays a Naboo Royal Guard. Above you can see the screen capture from TPM (left) as well as the production shot before the digital character were entered (right).

I found this on TFN's message board about the handmaidens:
Hernalt posted 08-28-1999 12:52 PM
"She's Italian, an actress, a screenwriter, and a director. All at 24 years old.
The shots in TPM where Sache is visible are [1] One fleeting half-glimpse in the Theed Throne room scene, sitting in the non-focused background. (I believe she's behind Sio Bibble.) [2] Decending stair at Theed Palace. (Caserta Palace, Italy - stair was carved from a solid block of stone in the 1400's.) [3] En route to Camp Four. [4]Theed Hangar, when Queen decides to go to Coruscant. (Set constructed in Leavesden Studios, England.) [5] Naboo Victory Parade can be included if someone distinctly recalls seeing ALL 5. Our picture has 4 and the odds don't favor either Yane or Sache over the other. (Outdoor Theed sets were built at Leavesden as was the Theed Hangar set which Sache was in.)
The shots in the TPM:Illustrated Screenplay where Sache is mentioned are: [1] The Theed Throne Room has all the Handmaidens BUT Sabe. The Flash Gordon News Flash has Eirtae and Sache standing behind the Queen. (The movie has the camera capturing only Eirtae, on the left.) [2] Descending stair at Theed Palace. [3] En route to Camp Four. (Visual Dictionary page 27.) [4] Theed Hangar. (Visual Dictionary page 27 - Sache's gaze being turned down may be accounted for by Screenplay and Novelization having her and Yane as crying.) [5] Naboo Victory Parade. Screenplay mentions ALL Handmaidens are present."
Above are images that Hernalt is referring to. If you know which of the handmaids pictured is Sache, please contact me.
