*10 year film study on top of several degrees, diplomas, certificates, and awards, for being a creative artist.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF FILM AND
THE POWER OF CAUSE AND EFFECT UPON THE HUMAN SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS.

Twelve years ago, when I graduated from modeling school in 1987, I was told I was too short to be a superrmodel (even though I am the same height as Marilyn Monroe and Jean Arthur), so I scratched supermodeling off my list and started taking Theatre and Film classes where Film Study became my major
& Mass Communications my destiny.  I have been training to work as an actress in the movies for over twenty years.

I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT JOINING A UNION SHOULD BE OPTIONAL--A CHOICE FOR EVERY EMPLOYED WORKER. 

EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY HAS A CHOICE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO JOIN THE UNION:  HEALTHCARE, INDUSTRIAL, ADMINISTRATION, SERVICE, EXECUTIVE TECHNOLOGY, and SEVERAL OTHERS UNIONS. 
MOST PEOPLE HAVE THE CHOICE TO JOIN A UNION. 
ACTORS AND ACTRESSES/CREATIVE ARTISTS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO JOIN A CLU
THAT RESTRICTS THE ART AND THE ABILITY OF IT.

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT NEEDS. 
WHAT IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE UNION,
AND THE UNIONS ARE CLASHING WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE INDIVIDUAL IS WORKING SO MUCH OVERTIME?
THE INDIVIDUAL IS TO BE PUNISHED FOR WORKING?  WELL, THEY ARE IF THE UNION IS NOT A CHOICE.

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO STAND BY AND WATCH CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS JUST OUT OF SCHOOL TORTURED INTO SHOCK AND THEN PHOTOGRAPHED FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S PROFIT,
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UNION MEMBERS.  THEIR CAREER IS THEN RUINED BEFORE THEY EVEN KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF IT.


I am a strong believer that the union should be optional,  because everyone has different needs.  And I do not believe that I would be a proud member if I belonged to any organization that held anyone political prisoner because of what they looked like, their age, where they came from, who they knew, or who they were friends with.  It is unacceptable to see any child as expendable, regardless of culture, race, religion, beliefs, or ability. 

What if you are friends with thousands of people?
The right way?  Right way for who? 
Stanislavsky would be standing next to me--along with Liberace, Beethoven, MarilynMonroe, James Dean, John F. Kennedy, 
and many, many others who never did join the CLU.  Do you think there might be a good reason why?  I cannot stand by and watch children suffer from rules of an organization that turns a blindeye to the suffering youth of America who are not members of the union.  (You cause these children/young adults all this pain by restricting them from working and yet, you act like there isn't a problem with it.  That's not good acting, that's sadism.)
