Life's roughest storms prove the strength of our anchors

Last fall, my career ramped up. I grew out my silver hair and saw a good number of auditions. I booked a national multimedia spot for Rocket Mortgage that paid a ton. Came back from the holidays expecting to hit the ground running.  Instead, wham!

Who could have possibly foreseen what has happened? Hollywood is shut down from a perfect storm of high tension and bad policy. Every actor I know is out of work and depressed. Having a few acorns set by, I decided the best action was simply to stay out of the way and avoid making things worse. But who knows how long it will be before I again get a chance to do what I love, to act.

In the meantime, I'm taking an online Masterclass with Helen Mirren, a wonderful actress whose work I admire tremendously. Prepare for work to resume and look to the best teachers as you do.
