ODDS AND ENDS

I’ve worked as a secretary at Triad Talent Agency (now William Morris) and Warner Brother’s Pictures. I was a make-up artist for Larry Flynt Publications (long story). I worked as a waitress at the infamous Rainbow Bar and Grill in the early 80's and got a nice education in Rock and Roll. I can play a bit of cello and guitar and I am fluent in written and spoken German. I also spent a few years waiting tables in L.A., New York, London and San Francisco. At the moment, along with my other illustrious careers as a wife, a mother, an actress, singer, writer and lyricist, I am studying counseling, psychotherapy and hypnosis. I will be finished in May, 2010.
