Runaway News

I'm excited to be working on the Feature Film, "The Wedding Video"
with Producer, Linda Palmer. I love her positiive attitude and freewheeling energy and determination. It will also be fun to work with Director,
Todd Wade.

I just read that Linda's working on a new project with Echelon Entertainment. I'm friends with Eric Leizel. I used to help out in his Development Dept., when it was LionShare Entainment. Then, he merged with Echelon. Small world in Hollywood!

BOOKED A FUN ROLE ON "MY NAME IS EARL!"

I'm SO excited! I booked an awesome little role on "My Name Is Earl."
We shot yesterday. It was so much fun! I play a woman at a rest stop bathroom. The storyline in the episode is freakin' hysterical! We follow Earl and Randy as they share about their experience of finding a police badge and the trouble that ensues! It's Episode #22, titled "Found A Badge" and will air on Thursday, April 27th, 2006, at 9pm on NBC!
In my scene, I got to work with Mike O"Malley from the hit show, "Yes, Dear!" He was a great guy and wonderful to work with. I'm so sorry that his show is no longer on the air. We also got to work with Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee. They were also great to be around. I'm so glad that Jason is well and back on his feet from his bout with the chicken pox.

I'll post some more pix from the set soon.

My episode of CRIMINAL MINDS aired on October 5th!

So, Criminal Minds is getting lots of good reviews. I had a great role on Episode 3, which aired on Wednesday, October 5th.
I play Mrs. Walker, the wife of the main suspect on the episode. It was fun to see my scene because my husband runs me over with his car, while running from the FBI. It was a trip! It looks like he PLOWS into me as hard as possible. But, I did have a stunt woman, so no one got hurt. I'm sure they'll rerun the episode, in the spring, if anyone who missed it, wants to see it.
I want to thank everyone who called or emailed me with congratulations. It's great having friends who like to see your work!

TODAY was my birthday!!!

Well! I had a WONDERFUL birthday today! (Actually August 24th.) I went to a wonderful dinner in Burbank at the Smokehouse Restaurant. It was incredible! And, yesterday, we had a party in a Cold Reading class that I teach. That was wonderful!
We had a great time in class. Then, we had munchies and drinks and spent some time getting to know each other better!
Thanks to all for a great time! I will surely remember this birthday!

"I recently shot a GREAT role on CRIMINAL MINDS, a new drama on CBS!"

So, I've had a great couple of weeks! I booked a wonderful Co-Star role on "Criminal Minds."
It's a new crime drama that will air on CBS. It's a little like CSI, in that, the agents investigate crimes.
But, it's really a lot more like "Silence of the Lambs." The story follows a crack team of FBI profilers as they delve
into the minds of criminals. The crimes are on-going, so they hope to catch the criminals and stop them.
Mandy Patinkin stars as the lead FBI agent. Thomas Gibson is on his team. He played the husband on Dharma and Greg.
The other guy on the team is Shemar Moore. He played Malcolm Winters on The Young and the Restless, for you Soap fans!
He's an African-American hottie!

I had a great time working on the show. I play Mrs. Walker, the wife of one of their suspects. In the story,
we live in Palm Beach, FL, so, we shot in Long Beach. Joe Hart played my hubbie. Our story ends with a bang!
You HAVE to tune in to check out the action. Our episode is #3, "Won't Get Fooled Again." The show will air on
Wednesday nights, on CBS. It premieres near the end of September. Please try to catch it, if you can.
Criminal Minds is getting a lot of great publicity as being one of the BEST new shows coming to Primetime!

Welcome to my world!

I've wanted to start a blog for some time. I'm glad I finally got around to doing it! I'd like to share what's going on in my life with my family and friends. I hope to inspire a discourse here with any friends or fans. Thanks for visiting and feel free to post anytime!
Take care!
