There have been several nice parts in films. Look for me in One Last Thing, Last Vegas, Déjà Vu and My Dog Skip, to name a few. One fun role was when I gave David Cross a black eye and knocked him on his butt in Run, Ronnie, Run. It was great fun flaunting my wares in my bathing suit in Last Vegas.
In between, there were TV commercials, among them a Telly Award-winning Kodak moment.
I served on the board of Women in Film/Atlanta and presently sit as Chaplain of the Atlanta branch of the National League of American Pen Women.
My drama classes helped me to construct better novels. I write in whole scenes and dialogue is second nature to me. I feel these abilities make my tales far more interesting and readable. In my spare time I keep writing, writing, writing.
A Medal for Dr. Mary, about the only woman to win the Medal of Honor, has earned five stars on Amazon. I consider this my crowning achievement.
