| I spent several years learning the acting biz, taking classes mostly
at ACT (American Conservatory Theatre) in San Francisco. That came
to an end because I didn't want to move to LA. My 10
seconds of fame was on Nash Bridges in 1998. Don Johnson was drunk
and a jerk, but Cheech Marin was very cool and we joked around a lot.
The irony of my "acting career" was that because of my age and look, I was told most of my parts would be playing a mom. Imagine me on set with kids all day! Aaaahhh! My biggest problem getting parts was that there are millions of women in the "18-40" category, and not much work. I'll try again when I'm old and wrinkled... apparently there's a lack of older actors. Acting was exhilarating though, and most of what you think about actors and how they work is probably wrong. |
