Charity

Animal welfare is an issue that’s very important to me. Our cats are like our family, and, no, I’m not a “crazy cat lady”, but I can’t imagine doing anything to harm them, or any other animal, if I can avoid it…

My partner, Jed, aside from being a brilliant screenwriter, is also a well known and respected author on the subject of animal activism. I strongly recommend checking out his book, Obligate Carnivore, as a perfect explanation of why I (we) choose to live an “animal friendly” lifestyle.

I also encourage you to check out some of the following links:

About Me

Hey, thanks for stopping by my site! (scroll down to watch my video bio…)

As an actress, I’ve appeared in over 50 short comedy sketches, produced by Liv Films and written and directed by Jed Gillen. These sketches are immensely popular online, with over 30 million views so far!

I guess I’m probably best known as the star of the Miracle Beer Diet, Liv Films’ biggest hit, which has been seen by over 5 million people, or as the “Ron Paul Girl”, our short-lived answer to the “Obama Girl” craze, which, in spite of the candidate’s fringe status, was nonetheless featured by CNN, Fox News, USA Today, ABC Online, and the New York Times.

I also appeared regularly as the “Chief Pandering Correspondent” on the (unfortunately, now-defunct) Warner Brothers website “Hardly News”. The series was produced by Vance DeGeneres (now the VP of Steve Carrell’s Carousel Pictures). Imagine The Daily Show, but in a bikini… How could that not take off?

Some things I love: cold beer, popcorn, the beach, “The Office”, sunny days, rainy days, sarcasm, puppies, coffee, vegan pizza, lasers (is there anything they can’t blast off with a laser these days?), reading by the pool, our kitties, early jazz, the opera, making movies, watching movies, watching basketball, cheap wine, absinthe, hiking in the canyon, living in the city, sleeping, and, of course, Jed!

Some things I can’t stand: getting up early, cigarette smoke, adults who ride skateboards, fat people who take the elevator instead of the stairs (a little exercise won’t kill you!), hippies, flakes, making chit-chat, musical theater (and most of the people who love it), kids (unless they’re related to me), meat, taking yourself too seriously, and, perhaps the worst of all, people who write “your” when they mean “you’re”!

I was born and raised in California and I currently live in LA, with my sweetheart and our four kitties. When I’m not acting, I’m often hiking, hanging out by the pool, or just kicking back with a cold beer.

Oh, and did I mention that I also do some video editing and a little cinematography…?
