Let’s get right into the action. I LOVE ME IN THIS DRESS! Yep, another from that $5 JCPenney clearance sale!!
Let’s revisit a post originally run on March 11, 2022. The role I was born to play!
Hey, Bartender!
2026 Update: God I loved The Blues Brothers! Yeah, John Belushi was the single greatest talent I ever witnessed in my lifetime. Obviously, he was funny, but he also did drama well and this band was literally a world-class rhythm and blues band, culled from many amazing bands of the 60’s and early 70’s. Hey Bartender! was a track on that album. Their catalog of three albums is, was and always will be just fabulous music. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Happy New Year!! Yes, February 26, 2022 was New Year for me.
Movie number 5! “Calendar” a Troubadour Films production. I am in two scenes. This was the first and is the opening scene in the movie. I will not give away the plot, but the movie opens on New Year’s Eve, 2020 (in a parallel universe….no COVID, etc.). And I can unequivocally say, I will be in this movie. I played the bartender (great casting call, huh?). We count down the New Year, sing Auld Lang Syne, the principals get engaged in front of yours truly, my aged hands were filmed up close pouring shots (water in a vodka bottle). I also poured “champaign” (apple juice). It was soooo much fun!! As usual, I made new friends, made an impression in a creative process and for that, I am thankful!
My day started having breakfast with a friend who is an integral part of the Cleveland International Film Festival. While it is not Sundance or Cannes, it is a fairly significant festival. We’ll see what comes of this, but she thinks there may be room for this girl to work for the festival and she will also put me in touch with the head of the Cleveland Film Commission. The Avengers movies (the Russo brothers are native Clevelanders), Cherry, Judas and The Black Messiah and the upcoming Wheat Germ, starring me (okay, I am a spec on the wall, but I will be in the film!), were all shot in Cleveland. This connection could be very meaningful for me. Stay tuned!!
