About Me

Acting/Talent Experience:
I have been singing, and dancing since I was 4, as an amateur. Continued through High School. Was in a singing & dancing group called Young Folk, through the Heart of Illinois Fair, in 1974. We opened for all the Stars in the Grand Stand Shows. I Performed professionally as a Female Impersonator for 10 years. I was Music director at church for 3 years. My family & friends, say I'm quite the comedian, but I have had tragedies in my life, so I have to make light things to keep my sanity.
Am I affiliated with unions?:
No
A major event in my life was:
I was diagnosed with rheumatiod & psoriatic arthritis at the age of 15. At the age of 34, I was in a wheelchair, and bed ridden for a year. I had to move back home & have parents feed me 3 times a day, & bathe me. After finding the right treatment, & learning to walk again, I am greatful for for everything. Take nothing for granted, as things can change overnight. I'm still looking for a purpose in life.
The accomplishment I am most proud of:
I really don't feel like I had a chance to make a major accomplishment, due to my illness. In hindsight, I would have gone out on a limb to do so. I am called on by family & friends to design flyers & organize benefits & parties. I am happy to do these things from my heart, as financially I am strapped to an income of $885 monthly.
An embarrassing story about me was:
I was bartending on a saturday night wearing a pair of handcuffs. A little old bag lady, about 4'9" wearing a cowboy hat, known for walking the streets, playing a ukeleile and singing Won't you come home Bill Baily, sits at the bar. My boss told me to cuff her & see her reaction. I did, & as I tried to unlock them, the key broke. The police came & Their key wouldn't work, so I had to climb over the bar go to the fire station handcuffed to Rosie. As they cut them off she sang & firefighters LOL.
