Fun

I am looking forward to doing a Feast Of Fun podcast... I will re-post this with the date.  And, also, I am going to be doing a podcast with my friend down under, Super Marcey, the land of Oz :-)

I have been knocked out with my New Year's cold and cough.  So, this year didn't start out with the right kind of bang I was hoping for.

How does an actress deal with a stalker?

How do actresses deal with stalkers?

I erased this post.  It isn't good to be honest about harassment.  So, I will continue to post every once in a while just good news.  But, just so you know, no one likes to be treated badly.  I don't know how some of these big celebs deal with it.  I am really glad I am not famous.  I couldn't handle the ridicule, I am happy I have just been in a few movies that people like, so that is fun enough for me.
