I've always been drawn to the ocean... maybe because I'm a Pisces!



A few of my other favorite things...

Meal in a restaurant:  Sushi & Sake (with a cold Sapporo chaser) at Katsu Ya in L.A.
Way to spend an evening:  Social mood:  Barbecuing for friends & watching old movies. Alone mood:  I'm a computer geek - give me a glass of chardonnay and DSL and I'm happy.
Music:  Country!!  But it depends on my mood:  I love world music, classical, reggae, great blues.  I also heard an incredible Congo Drums group at my last wrap party. 
Faves:  The Dixie Chicks, Indigo Girls, John Mayer & Bob Marley!
Color:  Truly depends on my mood.  Yellow is happy.  Love lavenders and blues.  White feels clean and classy.  Green always calms me down.  But some days are made for RED!! 
Pets:  Lucy, my 5-pound Yorkshire Terrier, and Bammer, her best friend.  He's a male cat, and they picked each other out.  He grooms her just like a mama kitty would.  It's true love. 
Car:  My good old 1997 Ford Explorer Sport.  I'll probably drive it for the next twenty years - I'm emotionally attached.  New:  Scratch that - somebody hit me and totaled it!  Like losing an old friend.  May it rest in peace.  So now I have a brand new black Toyota Prius.  Getting 40+ miles to the gallon and loving it!   My daughter Jess has one too, in silver!
Exercise:  I discovered Cardio Barre this year, with Richard Giorla.  We use a ballet barre, and it makes you feel like a dancer.  It's the hardest & best workout I've ever found!  Check it out on his upcoming infomercial!  (Remember, dancers have the best legs & butts!)
Sport to play:  Golf!  I just started & am already addicted...
Sport to watch:  None - I'd rather do it myself.  I am so Type "A" Personality!
Role I've ever played:  Being my daughter Jessica's mother.  Her two cats are my first grandchildren, she says.
Favorite Acting roles:  Marilyn in "The Rat Pack", Kate in "Pensacola", and the deliciously psycho killer ala "Fatal Attraction" in Lifetime's "Perfect Neighbor"  (It's so fun to play bad!)
Motto:  Make sure you're living your dreams - don't settle for less than wonderful.  And don't give up five minutes before your Miracle!

Bubble baths are a favorite! One of my favorite things in the world is a bubble bath.
I love reading scripts and learning lines out by the pool. Going over my lines by the pool!

"Develop interest in life
as you see it - in people,
things, literature, music!
The world is so rich,
simply throbbing with
rich treasures, beautiful
souls and interesting
people. Forget yourself."

-- Henry Miller
