KING FOR A DAY - Try on your Dream Job for Size!
A few days following my audtion my Drama teacher called my house to say that the Casting Director had called and asked if it was an issue to dye my hair so that it would be a closer match to Diane Keaton's. They could have died my hair purple for all I cared! Unfortunately, they ended up going with a younger actor. Who new I would encounter age discrimination at the ripe old age of 14!
I have since had the opportunity to enjoy my fifteen minutes of fame none-the-less by making cameo appearances in several informercials thanks to a friend who is an award winning Director and Producer. I tease her that I am her Alfred Hitchcock, appearing briefly in all her productions.
My husband who is a Contractor by trade, also dreamt of building sets in Hollywood. I had images of playing his leading lady while we made out behind the scenes quite literally.
