Some of us are lucky. Some of us are not born to be the leading lady, but instead are destined to play a rich and bountiful treasure of characters.
I am Dorine in your Tartuffe.
I am Hecate in your Macbeth.
I am your drunken neighbor, Mrs Flannigan in Juno & The Paycock.
I am Bettina Barnes in your Psycho Beach Party.
I am Emmy Hennings.
My life has been filled with wonderful roles, and all because I don't have your typical pretty face. It bends, it wiggles, it contorts, and my eyebrows never stay still.
It is my favorite tool, and my greatest asset. It's a good face. Especially with a little lipstick, and a healthy smirk.
