A Few Fun Facts about Me….
My Kindergarden Picture
- I am the youngest of 9 kids (6 brothers, 2 sisters) and have 17 nieces and nephews (3 of which were born before I was born!).
- I was bitten by the acting bug in 8th grade when I was assigned to write, produce, and act in my own one-woman show as the late, great Shirley Temple. And I was hooked! But because I was so shy as a kid, it took me 4 more years to admit openly that I wanted to be an actress.
- I turn into a giddy school girl the second I get to see my character’s costume for the first time. And don’t get me started with my love for fake blood! If every project I work on included using fake blood, I’d be such a happy camper!
- People tell me I look like Anne Hathaway on a daily basis.
- Dave Matthews once handed me a tomato at a rest stop off of the New Jersey Turnpike.
- I’m a wannabe athlete but I’ve had to accept that my awkward clumbsiness prevents me from going pro. So I just stick to yoga, runs in the park and jumping on my trampoline.
- I’m a psychology and self-help book junkie. Check out my favs here!
- My favorite actresses are Laura Linney, Cate Blanchett, Robin Wright, Maggie Gyllenhal, Julianne Moore and of course, Meryl. You can never forget Meryl.
