Summer 2005

• I re-invented myself 10 years ago and went over to the darkside and became a Hollywood Agent. I think agents get a bad wrap. I have found the work to be inspiring and fun. I love artists. I represent actors and writers and I love the creative process.
  
  This year I have become a partner in my own bi-coastal agency. We have offices in Hollywood and New York. One of our clients, was an Emmy Award winner for her outstanding work in a Guest Starring role on "Desperate Housewives". Another client just finished his first season on the hit show "Barbershop" on Showtime. Another actress was just cast as a series regular in the new Tori Spelling series "Notorious". And one of my writers is Producing and writing a new show for TVLand. Stay tuned. In regards to my acting
  and writng career...you never know what the future holds!
