The "I want to be a Movie Star" Years
This is the closest thing I have been to normal. I did this because I was convinced by some professionals that I could look "normal" but act "kooky" and then I would get commercial work. Well they saw right through this facade but I must admit that this was a great headshot.
"Swan Lips" 1995
The upbeat Beat 1995
I started performing live in 1995 and continued through 1999, mostly in one woman shows of my own design to establish a resume but then in comedy clubs once people discovered that I was trying to be funny. My characters were fresh and my style was unique, but once again I found myself doing something that the business wasn't quite sure what to do with.

Thinking of You 1996
Tom has never cared WHAT I do with my hair, except he has asked me not to shave my head. I have permed it, colored it red, black and bleached it various shades of blonde and white. I've had a crew cut, various stylish flips, and bouffants. Some people still think I'm a blonde. The fact is I have a blonde soul and I really really love the dark roots.
Here I am in our studio with the portrait of me from 1984 in the background.
Boy do I adore a good wide angle lense!
The Queen: July 1998
Now this is a look that I truly adored! Just the right amount of black roots,
short blonde hair sticking straight up, and those glasses. Yes I am a
character comic and I found it took very little for me to look very
different. It's all about the hair and make-up and I had been a
professional make-up artist since I did fashion photography
back in Atlanta in 1978. Now my make-up kits include
theatrical make-up and effects, prosthetic teeth, and
ways to make male as well as female characters.
Groovy baby!
