It has been a huge, glorious month of travel, work and weddings. I participated in my good friend's daughter's wedding in Kansas City, shot a fabulous project for a webisode called Fuzz Track City, had a personal appearance in Rosewell, New Mexico, and then participated in my neice's wedding in Pennsylvania. We are now on our way to Baja for a week of just plain fun.
When does a girl have time to work? Well, as soon as she gets back! Doing a great little comedy with Chevy Chase and Winona Ryder called Stay Cool for The Polish Brothers, then heading to Horrorfind in Washington D.C. It appears that Killing Ruth is going to happen, so I will be heading to Canada the first of September.
And there are so many things pending we hardly can keep track of them. Hopefully, the union will not decide to strike and we can all WORK. Everything is kind of on hold now. Waiting.
I hope you all liked my Saving Grace episode. I was a tiny bit disappointed in the editing as a lot of my really good moments were not actually ON camera. But very few people noticed that, and most really loved the episode. It's a good lesson for an actor to remember that you KNOW what happened on the set and how much you shot, so you miss what doesn't get on screen. It's a mixture of ego and expectation, and a fine line to walk. Ultimately, you just have to show up and do your best. And move on.
I am hoping to have many exciting things to report soon, once deals are closed. I'll keep you posted! In the meantime, keep supporting shows that employ ACTORS. We need the support! Love, Dee

For My Acting Friends
This month I did the unthinkable: I took a project that none of my reps wanted me to do.
It was a script that was left at Steve Eastin's studio (where I study) and also sent to my manager.
The query letter stated that there was no pay, SAG deferred, nobody had many major credits, but they'd love me to play this certain female role.
"We should pass," I was told. And if fate hadn't intervened we might have.
But I was getting on the plane the next day and didn't have anything to read. What the heck. I'll take the script.
Well, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SCRIPT! It is one of the best scripts I've read in years. And then I met the people and fell in love with them. My co-star - FABULOUS!
I am having the time of my life and remember why I became an actor in the first place: the high!
So, I share this with you to encourage you to keep a balance in your career. Do some for the money, some for the material, and some for the fun. You never know when you'll strike gold! BTW - It's called Fuzz Track City. Look for it on the web!!
