The other day, for whatever the reason, I found myself wondering about years past, as I looked in the mirror during my early morning “get ready” for work routine. It was a good thing. The way it used to be, way back in the fifth or sixth grade. I’m sure most of you over the…
“I Wrote A Blog” Entitled: “From the Heart”; Taking a stand for what you believe and what it means to the actors of Los Angeles and all over the country; perhaps the world. *** Straight from the shoulder was a way of communication taught to me at such an early age, I doubt if I…
