About Me


I am me. I don't try to be anyone else. My family is amazing. I have some of the most fabulous friends ever. My close friends are my family. I will do anything for those I love. We all have regrets, and I have found that life is far too short for regrets. Love what you do, or you risk doing nothing at all..... I have been an actress since age 4. It's the one thing I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. Once I finish my Master's in Performance, it's off to Cali for me. It feels like home when I am there. "Not all who wander are lost."
Me and Helen in Vegas. This one one of the best weekends of my entire life. To have the woman you consider GOD ask you to go to Cinevegas events with....yes, it is life. Thank you Helen for being you and for the gift of you talent!!! (PS: I adore this picture of Hels, but I think I look a bit largesque......but look and her....perfection!!!)"The stage is meant for me! I wanna be the one who makes you cheer, the one who's out in front instead of in the rear. For once I wanna lead the band, and have the crowd in the palm of my hand. I JUST WANNA BE A STAR!"
I love you Dixie. You are the best and I truly can never begin to repay you for everything you have done for me. You have always supported me, loved me and given me stregth and hope when I didn't think I had any left. You are truly one of the most amazing women, I am so very lucky and honored to have you in my life!Thank you Elise for making this gorgeous tribute to Dixie!

I'd like to meet:

I have always had heroes and idols who have given me strength and inspiration to go after what I really want in life. I've had the pleasure of meeting two my idols: Dixie Carter and Helen Mirren. Dixie has always been my ..1, and I feel SO lucky to have her so close to me. I am so lucky to have her in my life. She is one of the most beauitful, kind, and talented human beings to even walk the face of the earth. Helen Mirren is truly a goddess! She's an AMAZING actress and a very kind and warm person.The one and only, Brett Somers. The other people I'd like to meet: Deidre Hall! She changed daytime in my eyes. Also, I've always wanted to meet Faye Dunaway regardless of all the "NASTY DIVA" rumors. She is such an amazing actress. Maybe I could tame her a little bit! :)On Myspace... I'm a total people person. I love meeting new people and chatting. I have a ton of interests and hobbies, and I always like to learn/hear about other hobbies and interests too. I'd love to talk, so just send me an add!Also, I must admit, I have an odd crush on this man. :)The marquee below represents the the actors, models, singers, etc. who have inspried me in some way. Some I have had the pleasure to meet, others, I sadly, never will as they left too soon. In one way or another they have all had a positive impact on my life. :) I thank them for inspiring me to move in the direction of my dreams.My best friend, Stacey, is the best person you'll ever meet. We are the same person....so, if you like me, you like her.

Music:

"When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point" ~Maria CallasI adore music and will listen to anything once (but that doesn't mean I'll like it). Show tunes (BROADWAY!!!!) are ususally my favs and I typically dislike most forms of country. My current broadway obsession is Lauren Bacall in Applause. Judy Garland is GODLY and the godess through whom all music flows. Everytime Judy sang she gave the audience a piece of herself....she didn't just sing a song, Judy was the song. I also adore opera and my all-time favorite "diva" is Maria Callas. She is a god and if you haven't heard her sing, you are SO missing out! I worship Dixie Carter (if you haven't noticed from the rest of my profile), and her singing and voice make my life complete! No matter what kind of mood I'm in, Dixie singing Cheap Decadent Drivel can always make me smile! My other fav artists/groups are (in no particular order): Chantal Kreviazuk, Daniel Powter, KT Tunstall, James Blunt, Elton John, Death Cab for Cutie, Coldplay, Nina Simone, Howie Day, Cher, Tina Turner, Patti Lupone, my best friend Stacey Grabowski (check her out at staceygrabowski.com cause she ROCKS), Jimi Hendrix, Micheal Buble, Rufus Rainright, Idina Menzel, Kings of Leon, Christine Ebersole, John Legend, Shirley Horn, Katy Segal, Missy Higgins, Flogging Molly ....talk about varied taste, right!?! There are more, but I'll stop this list from going on forever.
