My Filmmaker Daughter

My daughter – Kat – has been creating and editing films for a couple of years now. She really enjoys it and wants to make it her career. I’m one of her biggest fans of course!

I think it’s so important in life to be able to love your work! I love what I do and I hope my kids can say that 5, 10 and 20 years from now too!

Take some time and think about your “why”. Write it down and keep the paper near your work space. Whenever you start to doubt your decision, read [ ... ]



Hollywood Fun on The Closer set

I wasn’t sure what to expect on the set of The Closer, but it was really so much fun! My family and I had such a blast meeting Greg LaVoi, who played host that day, showing us around the set at Raleigh Studios, introducing us to cast, crew, his adorable “Stella” cutie and his beautiful vintage Irene collection. Above is a photo they took at the studio for us (L-R: My husband, myself, my daughter, Kyra Sedgwick and my son). Aside from the picture taking, Kyra, who plays “Brenda” on The Closer, took a few moments between takes to stop and talk to each of us. She is so sweet. She asked the ages of my two kids (21 & [ ... ]
