For her role in the German drama 3096 Tage, Antonia Campbell-Hughes took "suffering for art" to a whole new level. The film recounts the true and traumatic story of Natascha Kampusch, an Austrian girl kidnapped at age 10 and held captive for over eight years—3,096 days, to be precise. Like Kampusch, Campbell-Hughes also shaved off her head and followed the same dieting regime as Kampusch to weigh less than 100 pounds at the time of her escape. The dungeon was about less than 54 square feet, where Kampusch was held captive.
