About Me

IM A KIWI ACTRESS.. I live to act and it is the one great passion in my life...never do I feel more alive than when I am on stage. I have been acting since I was 17 years old,I played a 'narnian animal'..in The lion the witch and the wardrobe and I can remember crying my eyes out as the final night curtain fell,holding the hand of a 79 year old man with tears in his eyes..who whispered to me..."its the best place in the world kid!"....and it is. The only time I have ever experienced love at first sight..was the day I laid eyes on a fluffy little black kitten with big gold eyes...I'm still crazy about him. A year ago I rescued an ungrateful rabbit off the streets of LA,"Eddie"..he is available for adoption....just kidding.I love them both terribly. I have been blessed to know true love in my lifetime and for that I am grateful. I have a "Rasberry licorice" addiction and I am fond of red wine,champagne and of course 'Apple Martini's'. I tend to have deep friendships and I make an incredibly loyal friend..I still have many friends from my childhood. I have two personalites..one is Wild and Crazy...the other is insecure and over sensitive,I guess I haven't quite figured out if I'm the Cats pajama's or something the cat dragged in. My best trait is that I am very loving and affectionate....having lost many members of my family to illness and tragedy...I have learnt not to be afraid to love with everything. Most of all in life ..I want to be moved.
