The race is on to Sunday, March 7.

As we get ready for the Academy Awards, the nominated are feeling on top of the world. Everyone is still a winner and the recognition is extraordinary.

Every actor started his or her journey with a wish to perform, to give voice and spirit to an extraordinary character.

As Meryl Streep so beautifully stated at the Golden Globes, it was not that she herself is extraordinary (who are you kidding, Meryl?) but, more important, that she’s the vessel for extraordinary characters…

Exiles in Hollywood
Without internet access to information and digital advocacy, actors are left behind.

In the ever-changing world we live in, the only certainty is that things will continue to change. As a 20-year veteran of the business of casting—something that should seemingly stay the same, as it revolves around finding just the right person for a particular role—I see my methods of getting there go through change every single day…

Last week, my husband giggled with electric delight as he installed a 46-inch flat screen TV and sound system equipped with a sub-woofer. He declared that our family room was now our home theater and went straight to the computer to start ordering up the Netflix.

I am thinking to myself, ‘Who cares? I don’t actually want a home theater. I want to go to the movies, the theater, the Wiltern … Why don’t we build a proscenium stage in the living room and have the children put on plays?

Well, the point is, storytelling has moved from the family hearth to the page to the “screen,” and that screen takes every rectangular shape and size possible. I should know — I just created an iPhone app for actors…

From Big Screen to iPad, Filmmakers must Adapt: The Wrap

Here’s the craziest thing about casting.

It’s not that I’ve met so many incredible actors at the very beginning of their careers and been able to see how much they have grown professionally. It’s not that actors simply don’t remember to staple their headshots to their resumes. And it’s certainly not that actors don’t look anything like their photos.
