Film, Theater, Art (Hopper, O'Keefe, Sargent, Picasso, Rembrandt, Degas, Cassatt, Bernini... and learning about artists I don't know yet), Travel, Writing, Photography, Texas History, Tudor England, Italy, Vintage Fiestaware, Books, Cars (especially classic cars... "They can be any color, so long as they are black.")... my children, my family.... why we are who we are... the paths people follow... options not taken... pretty much anything that will expand my horizons.
Music
My cd player has the following artists rotating in an out.... Billy Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Jeri Southern, Nina Simone,Judy London.... I'm a big Cole Porter fan, too..... but I love classical music...Beethoven's 9th tops the list along with Mozart's C Minor Mass, and Requiem, Gabriel Faure's Requiem... Chopin.... Mozart's arias sung by Bartoli... Handel.... Bach (CPE and JS)... Vivaldi... Scarlatti... Puccini (OH MY GOSH... PUCCINI!)... I think it's just about time to cross over into the world of the ipod so I can load everything onto it.... but I'm not quite there yet... Oh... was anyone else in Rome at the closing concert of Simon and Garfunkel's World Tour a few years ago? Incredible experience.

Books
I'm usually in the middle of several at one time. Right now it's: Born Standing Up; From Here, You Can't See Paris; Conversation. Always on my bedside table: The Reluctant Tuscan: How I Discovered My Inner Italian by Phil Doran (if you love Italy... or if you haven't decided if you do... you MUST read this book... it's terrific... funny, touching...) ... And others I am about to begin. Re-reading Cyrano de Bergerac... for the bazillionth time.
Heroes
Anyone willing to take life as it comes, and follow the path before them with only minor hesitation.... that said, I also admire anyone who can forge a new path when the roadblocks are insurmountable.
About me: 33 years ago I wrote and directed my first play.... an adaptation of HEIDI... rehearsed on the playground with moderately willing 2nd grade classmates. We "performed" what ended up being a mostly improvised production for the first grade.... finally ending the show when the math teacher pulled me over and whispered, "about how much more do you think is left?" I was young enough not to take this as negative criticism and quickly aimed for the curtain call. I was hooked from that point on,(ending up in the Juilliard Drama Division right out of high school) and every year since, with only one or two exceptions, I have been involved in at least one theatrical production... many years I have been involved in some capacity in multiple endeavors.... theater, film, music... as an actress, coach, director, writer... you name it. I'm primarily a film actress now enjoying a moment of "right place/right time" living in Dallas, Texas.
I'm also a mom... with two beautiful and (if I do say so) brilliant daughters, both of whom are performers in their own right. Co-founder of thistlemouse productions www.thistlemouse.com... a theatrical production company focusing on productions for children and families.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: Those who are interested in filmmaking, writing, photography, theater.... others who had "the Juilliard experience"... artist parents... friends I know right now, friends from long ago... friends I don't know yet.... you?
Just making the rounds to all of For Love & Stacie's friends here on MySpace letting you know that the full movie is now online in full for free. Hope you love it and and really hope you'll help us out by spreading it around! Thanks so much!
