march or stroll
For me, early March is one of those liminal times — not quite winter anymore, yet not quite spring yet either. I’ve been loving dressing for these in between times — thoughtfully choosing the items that, together, signal this threshold time. Speaking of cusps, In February I filmed a short that had the craziest coincidences…

squirts, gushes & the occasional whiff
Hiya, mates! During these last few weeks in Los Angeles, it’s been alternatingly raining hard and shining brightly. Literally, and quite possibly figuratively. But there’s a lot of beauty in those natural displays most of the time. On the acting front, I had my first commercial avail of the year – that’s like a big…

Hey 19
Happy New Year! I had some sweet holiday times with close family and powerful theater back east. And now it’s back to LA and all that that entails. Some performance highlights were seeing the off-broadway play “Daniel’s Husband” (sadly in its final days) and the musical “The Band’s Visit” (I loved it so much), not…

As actors, it can sometimes be hard to say goodbye to the characters we play. Especially when they land in a sweet spot of our psyches. Such was the case with Janine. Janine, the fun, cool mom to the titular “Premenstrual Margot” played by the marvelous Giselle Torres. One of the visual details of the…

Sweet Home (#tiredandgrateful)
It’s catch up time after a month of intense work. The commercial shoot was incredibly fun, and the film had its out of town challenges with long days and outdoor scenes in sweltering temps. But we all got through it, thanks to everyone’s dedication and commitment. The crew was so helpful protecting the cast from…

One Small Step
Greetings, lovely people. (***Scroll down to forgo memory lane + just watch if you prefer.) So, I found this restored footage of a scene from China Beach, the astonishing war drama series that I had the honor of working on many moons ago. It was my first time in a speaking role on a professional…

Healing New Year
Dear Friends, I’ve been meaning to write, but I’ve been on the mend this month. Over December, I had the very exciting idea to go skiing in Nagano, Japan, as my husband and I would be seeing family roundabout there for the new year. You guessed it, things went not as it expected (do they…

My favorite sport
Happy fall, dear readers! There is something about the filmmaking process that breaks my heart open every time..something about the intimacy and yet the total impersonal aspect of it. When it’s going well, there is a pervading egolessness that allows everyone to shine. We are all together, seen and unseen, creating something from nothing. And…

stealth moves
Hello and yikes! I can’t believe we’re on the verge of June. So far this year feels like one of those picture flip books that you thumb through and the moving images pass by so quickly, it leaves you with a sweet ache. Ah…… In acting news, a film I worked on is making the…

In the Garden: Colony
What a joy it was co-starring on Colony’s Season 2, Episode 10: “The Garden of Beasts.” This show is so good, and this episode was killer. If you like television dramas that make your heart race + your heart break, you need to watch this. I’m so blessed I got to play with these passionate folks…
