I'm sprinting toward the "finish line" this morning!!!
justthefacts2---Thank you for the star!!!
*bows humbly with gratitude*
Now, if I say its name ("Betelgeuse") three times fast like Gina Davis... will a bald, pale Michael Keaton leap out of a grave?

What has given you the most pleasure in the last year? Making new friends... and our new cat Luigi!
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be? Wow, I don't know WHAT they would say. I would HOPE it would include: nice, funny, thoughtful, talented, insightful... great-looking, wealthy, young, sexy... (okay, I'm getting delusional now)... but they'd be damn right in saying it!
What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try? Well, I'd be lying if I said I STILL don't harbor a desire to be on Broadway. (Now, THERE's something none of you can relate to!
) I'm not actively persuing a theatre career now, but I still have that twinge of desire. My mother was in two Broadway plays (flops, even!)... but at least she "got there." Maybe someday, I will re-invent my life yet again, and I'll get there too. Who knows? I came close already, once or twice.
What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? That you were given? Well, it was my dad's birthday last week. I gave him the DVD of "Lust for Life" (Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh), a new bathrobe, and a silly miniature statue of an old painter that said "Aging is an art form" at the bottom.) The last gift I was given... a box of chocolates for Valentine's Day!
Tell us something that you think we’d be surprised to know about you? I'm not sure what would "surprise" any of you! Like everyone else, I have hidden talents, secrets and many sides to "me." I've had moderate successes in a variety of different areas... and some people raise an eyebrow to learn these different aspects of "who I am." I've been an actor, singer, author, musician, jingle writer, graphic designer and DVD producer... so usually I surprise people who know me as "one thing" when they find out I've done these other things.

What had been the most meaningful theatrical experience you've been a part of, either as a spectator or participant?
singingwendy---I would probably say the production of "A Little Night Music" when I played Henrik. For some reason all the Theatre Gods aligned for that show, and it was truly magical.

Thanks for your questions, Mamie!
What is the warmest, most secure memory you have? Walking home from grade school as child in the rain... and knowing that my mom would be waiting for my brother and me with the heat on, and a nice cup of hot chocolate when we got there.
When you were in school, what did you like to do during your long summer vacations? As a kid, I lived at the swimming pool. When I wasn't there, I was home drawing, painting, playing the piano, listening to music, reading... or out with the kids in the neighborhood playing games.
Were there lots of kids in your neighborhood? Yes! I was very lucky. Probably around 10-12 kids close to my age on our street. We used to play games after school all the time! And of course, we would put on plays and musicals... and I would direct, do the costumes and pick the shows... naturally!
Did you ever play ball in the street? Did you like it or did you just play because everybody else did? I ask that because I used to play ball out in the street all the time and I hated it. I used to get hit in the head with the ball all the time. (It explains a lot!) LOL! Yes, I played ball, but I didn't like it much either. I had asthma as a kid, and I could only participate to a certain point before I had to stop. My brother, on the other hand, was the jock. He was great at sports and even went to college on a full-ride baseball scholarship as a pitcher.
We are each the architect of our own heaven. What is yours going to be like? It's going to have LOTS of welcoming souls... great "art direction," sets, costumes, lighting... and the most beautiful music you've ever heard.
