When I was a kid I never dreamed of being a model when I grew up. My idea of the perfect day was spending it on the back of a horse, riding until the sun went down. I lived in tee shirts and frayed, faded jeans. (not a lot has changed) I preferred turquoise and silver to diamonds any day, and couldn't be bothered to do anything to my hair but leave it straight. So when I found myself in L.A. going on casting calls, no one was more surprised than me! On my rare day off I'd found a place to go horseback riding in the valley, it was something that helped keep me sane in what was otherwise a fast paced lifestyle...
An Incident: I'll share with you a funny story about Jon Cryer... so back in the 80's he was hot property. I mean "Pretty in Pink"had just came out and that whole brat pack gang, well their careers were on fire! He happened to be a guest on a talk show that I was also booked on only I wasn't being interviewed I was modeling the latest fashions. I thought he was super cute and we flirted back and forth all night, but he never actually approached me himself... that is until I was leaving after the show. There was a long black limo in the parking lot, a guy got out and walked over to me. I thought it was Jon for sure but instead it was his best friend?! I got into my car, rolled down the window and his friend said "Jon would really love to take you on a date for drinks and dinner at Spago (which is a great restaurant owned by Wolfgang Puck) What shall I tell him?" And I thought to myself Wow, are you kidding?! (I adored Jon Cryer, that hair, those eyes, those lips!!!) And I told his friend, "Well that sounds fabulous and you can tell Jon that if he had approached me himself I would have said yes!!" Then I drove off, home to my kitty and left over El Pollo Loco (Yum)!! I mean what the heck, a girls gotta have some standards, right?! ha ha ha... I've never regretted it.
