Silver Lining

About Me

Yes, I am a card-carrying Drama Queen! Some know me as LL or LaLa. The sprawling Angel City is my home. I regularly brave the Tinsel Town brake light trains in search of my next stage.

I'm a funny-film fool, a musical theatre junkie, and a hopeless romantic. A healthy dose of reality is overrated.

A raisin girl in a cornflake family, I've carved my niche as the Black Sheep of the sparrows. ;)

Sometimes the darkest corners look the brightest.

An art-deco darling--I dig the 20's and 30's. I love period films, plays, and pieces. History fascinates me; I'm addicted to antiques.

Raised on a piano bench and brought up behind a harp, I adore all music and a song that tells a good story can bring me to tears.

for looking me up...comments are welcome!!

A Busy Friday!

A busy end to a busy week... After two consecutive nights on an all-night shoot followed by an early morning and then a fairly late night at work, sleeping in would've been a welcome luxury...&nb...

Celluloid fatigue

After yet another 14-hour day sequestered in the editing room, I finally finished my project!  No more fitful nights spent dreaming about splicing accidents or forgetting mag-film.  I can fi...
