I will be unable to respond to most messages because I have a health condition that makes it extremely painful for me to type.

As a producer my mission is to combine education and entertainment to empower, inform, uplift and enlighten. I love mentoring film makers, some of them have gone on to receive Emmy and Academy Award nominations...I really get a big kick out of seeing others succeed at reaching their dreams.

One of my fun creative outlets is designing jewelry. I love recycling vintage or antique pieces to create unique one of a kind necklaces. I look at it as creating sacred talismans. It has been an honor to design for some of the most celebrated women in the world...including Academy Award winners and even a Nobel Peace Prize Winner.

I've been an environmental advocate since I was a kid. It was my love for the environment and social justice issues that first got me interested in making films. While I was still in high school I made a 45 minute documentary film which helped to shed some light on a march that was being threatened behind my school. Along with Barbara Boxer and others we helped save the marsh from developers.

I went on to help produce television and film projects that I believe in.

In 1980 I had the great honor of being the head of development for the largest educational repertory company in the United States (a multiple Emmy Award winning company for their co-productions with PBS's KCET.)

After that I moved to L.A. and spent an exciting sabbatical as the personal chef to the former president of the American Restaurant Association and had a blast cooking for our guests which ranged from the greatest chefs of Europe to the biggest stars. What fun for a little kid like me.

Then with the encouragement from my neighbor and friend, Johnny Carson, I set out to create my own production company.

In my free time I enjoyed supporting environmental organizations like Kid's F.A.C.E. Both Al Gore (who at the time was A U.S. senator from Tennessee) and I were on the board of Kid's F.A.C.E. which was the largest environmental organization for kids on the planet at the time.

Later in 1991 I co-created with my former mate, Fred Segal and his son Michael, the nations first ecology department store

I've given out over 30,000 "Practice Random Kindness and Senseless Acts Of Beauty" bumper stickers all over the world since 1991.

I love mentoring writers and film makers who have something important to contribute to society.

I've spent a life time behind the scenes securing financing, putting deals together, strategizing marketing plans to help others realize their dreams. I love producing and marketing, its fun, like a chess game. These are also skills I use (pro bono) to help non profit organizations optimize their efforts. I feel very fortunate to be in a position to help others with the skills and know-how I've accumulated.

Since I started posting my little videos this last July 2007, people are always asking me if I am an actress. Nope,I'm flattered, but I am not. I love being the person behind the scenes helping to make things happen. I have been offered many film and T. V. roles but I have always turned them down...because although the critics have loved some of the films or shows I've been offered...they just don't make movies like they used to...and until I find a reason to get up at 4 in the morning to get to a film set by five...I'm sleeping in.
