Little Known Fact #1

1980-81© Dallas Ballet

Little Known Fact: For a brief moment in time I wanted to be an actress. I tried out for plays, television and movies with little luck. The occasional photo shoot came my way, including this unforgettable ad for the Dallas Ballet. I remember there were a lot of lights and that everyone was really nice. Four years later I got my first camera.
