"Me había quedado sin actriz."

[kickerr]

How should i decide to use or not an article if there is no in the sentence?

[ajabrams]

When you are talking about a profession, the article is not used. Hope that helps.

[CzechTomas]

Why me and not yo?

[ajabrams]

It's reflexive. The person themselves had been left without an actress. The verb was acting upon the subject.

Is "had stayed" not a valid translation for the verb?
