The Actress Phase
Like many girls in their 20's living in Los Angeles, I mistakenly thought I might make it big as an actress. I studied acting and writing. I also studied and taught classical jazz dance long before it became popular again. While I enjoyed myself a great deal working on student films and low budget stage productions, I knew I was not cut out for the life of an actress when a "casting agent" informed me that the character I was auditioning for would now "require nudity, and we need to see what you got". I declined and decided to go back to my corporate career.
