I love to read, but I don't read anything that isn't true. True crime, biographies, and history. I especially love European history. I think I was British in a previous life!
Forensics is a great passion. Truth is always more interesting than fiction.I love to grow things! Plants, animals, humans. I have a great patio filled with green plants and fountains. In Southern California there's a difficulty finding the natural Earth between the concrete. You have to actually go purchase dirt in order to grow plants because people have poured concrete over everything. It pisses me off. The biggest interest I have is people, I love learning about people.I like to know what makes a person tick, whether it's bad or good. What makes a person behave they way they do. What are the differences in people who thrive, and people who don't. What is it inside a human being that turns them into a doctor, a king or a president? What turns a person into Jeffrey Dahmer or Jack the Ripper? What makes my son so athletic, and my daughter so artistic? Of course you can say DNA, but it's so much more, and I enjoy getting down to the datails. As an actress, you learn to become an observer in peoples behavior and find out what the subtext is. A lot of times, what people say is not what they mean...

Our American and British soldiers fighting to preserve our freedoms deserve the highest respect we can give!..
