About Me

I'm 40, feel like 27, and do the whole thespian/acting/directing/playwrighting thing. Trying to make a living at it, and am getting there little by little. I make 1/2 my income from it, so I figure that maybe when I'm 80 I'll make a full living at it! Im separated, which means, I don't know, I'm sort of in a relationship- not divorced but not truly single yet??? I like to have fun, meet people and well....ask me and I shall reply. I'm not shy. Oh, and if you like to act and do theatre you need to be my friend, I'll alert you of casting notices every now and then!

My Interests

Theatre, acting, arts, music, reading, opera, etc. I'm a gypsy at heart.

I'd like to meet:

Fun energetic people that are into the arts.

Music:

Everything except death-thrash-metal

Movies:

all time favorie: Passage to India. But I do also enjoy cornball films too. And just about all of Hitchcock.

Television:

Don't watch it much. I do try and catch The View. I enjoy the converstion of smart witty people. I also try and watch PBS whenever I can. I'm too busy doing acting, and some of it has been, believe it or not, on TV!:

Books:

The classics: Dante, Shakespear, Garcia Lorca, Anatole France, Gide, Echegaray, Unamuno, Cadmus, Camus, Gogol, Ovid, Euripides, Sophocles, Cervantes, Genet, Neruda, Rojas, Baudelaire, Voltaire, Machiavelli, Francis Bacon, etc.

Heroes:

People that change the world are my heros: The Dalai Lama, Ghandi, Siddartha, MLK, Barbara Walters, Alexander the Great, Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, Lincoln, Chapultepec, Cabeza de Vaca, Louis Pasteur, Einstein, Edison, Elizabeth I.
