Music, Movies, and Books

All kind of music, bring it on!
My favorite movies: Sophie's choice, My left foot, Mystic River, Selma, desert flower
My ever favorite play is: 'the old woman' starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Willem Dafoe
'Summer and Smoke' by Tennessee Williams, 'Of Mice and Men' by Jhon Steinbeck, 'the American Dream' by Edward Albee, 'who's afraid of Virginia wolf' - Edward Albee. And many more. Chekhov and Tolstoy not to miss.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Came to San Francisco on my own, gained a big good hearted family and explored my passion - acting! Was involved in a local infamous 'Shelton Theater' as a stage manager, and actress. Cross country adventure and into Canada!
