Actor

My first love, what I wanted to be when I grew up, what I really did try to become. I was the kid in the school plays, the ham in the home movies, the little girl glued to the Oscar broadcast dreaming that would be me someday. My parents helped without pushing - dance classes, weekend acting classes in New York (the American Academy of Dramatic Arts), piano lessons, everything they could do to help me. I made it through 2 years at Hofstra University, but got lost in their theater department and, I (must admit it) flunked out. Moved to New York and studied again, joined a small off-off-off Broadway (we really were out of the way and hard to find) theater company and did that for quite a few years. Later, I went back for classes at Bridgeport University, performing in some shows there. Ultimately, I had a moment when I realized that it wasn't what I wanted any longer.
