I knew I wanted to be an actor at a very early age. I vividly remember locking myself in my parents’ walk-in closet with a flashlight, creating characters and putting on one-woman shows for an audience of zero. As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a primetime player on Saturday Night Live—and yes, I also wanted to be one of Charlie’s Angels. But I didn’t follow my acting dreams; I followed life. Marriage, motherhood, and
a few plot twists later, here I am in 2025, only a hundred years young, finally chasing the dream I put on pause. And let me tell you—it’s never too late for a comeback.
