A n d ACTION!!!

I was 4 years old and remember desperately wanting to be on Romper Room and Friends with Miss Molly. Luckily, my mom worked magic and…poof, I was there and I was hooked! Acting has been a huge part of my life, in one way or another, since that day.

At the ripe old age of 7, I walked thru the gates of Paramount heading for auditions….…”Mom, that’s Kevin Costner!” And no, I didn’t run up to him and ask for his autograph, I was a 7 year old professional, after all.

After graduating from college, I left terra firma and entertained audiences for Carnival Cruise Lines….and my favorite question, “What time is the midnight buffet?” Answer: still at midnight. The most intelligent folks sometimes ask the silliest questions! “Do you live on the ship?” That one still gets me!

Nothing sets my soul on fire like memorizing a script, getting to a set at some crazy time and spending hours waiting around, all for the moment the director yells “ACTION”…that is just pure ecstasy!

Once this business is a part of you, it never leaves….and when my Romper Room compadres are the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, I know that I am still on the right path!
