Hi everyone! I have loved old films since I was a small child and would tap dance around the culdesac of my street in Los Angeles hoping that a director would drive by and discover me. I later became a Theater Arts major. I put my dreams of acting aside when I became a mother and my children became my main focus. As fate would have it my eldest daughter became a child actor and played Keanu Reeves little sister in the film River's Edge. My second husband was an Emmy winning lighting director and screen writer. I have always been on the peripheral of the entertainment industry and it gives me great pleasure to post pictures and information about old Hollywood which I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to not only follow but make any comments that you would like on my website.
