Who spends two and a half hours on stage alone playing 15 characters with no set change and no costume change?
I think I was as talented as I thought I was.
I just couldn't get agents or whoever you needed to believe in me enough to really make that happen.
So I got probably a B plus level theatrical agent, but infomercial wise, I was the king.
And then my theatrical agent was like, well, you're making all this money here.
I don't even need to submit you for things.
so it's kind of funny and i'll tell you the final story that i'd love that you guys will appreciate this i got the lead in a tv series it's called fashion house and i played the alexa carrington type with all of these gorgeous models and i was running the show and it was an hour on on my network tv the fox affiliate thing and it was going to run for 65 episodes and i crushed it and you can watch that i love the character i love who she was
At the 11th hour, two things happened.
President Fox said, your name's not famous enough for us to run this entire show on.
We're going to recast you.
We're going to recast you with Bo Derek.
I mean, her name was definitely big.
She was not this tough, ballsy actress that I was.
That probably would have made me as an actress.
