My Lifetime movie "The Perfect Neighbor" is now available on DVD.  I star as a raging psychopathic killer with a fatal attraction on Perry King. His wife is played by Susan Blakely.  It's so much fun to play a crazy bad girl! Watch the trailer and if you'd like your very own copy, you can order the DVD right here from my site!

I had a funny scene with Dennis Quaid in MGM & Paramount's romantic comedy "Yours, Mine & Ours"...trying to get him to kiss me!  (Not a bad day at the office, huh?)  This is a remake of the original with Henry Fonda & Lucille Ball.  Latest Update: Well...sorry guys, but I hate to have to say that evidently my scene with Dennis Quaid ended up on the proverbial cutting room floor. Maybe it'll come out on the DVD in deleted scenes. Darn. Oh well, guess that's show biz.
