I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L.A. and choose roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the bills.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I moved to L.A. right after I finished high school, for three years, because everybody was telling me it was important to get down there, and then I kind of just decided for myself that I didn't need to be there to be doing this. I wanted out of some of the chaos that comes with living here and being an actor.
I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.
When the children were little, I'd fly into L.A. for a specific work project, but then I'd leave again, and when I was home, I wouldn't even read a script.
I was waiting for L.A. to always become something important. I gave up... I left in 1974.
Moving to L.A. when I was 11 was when my entrepreneurialism started because it's the land of the American dream.
That got me to L.A. and reintroduced me to my future husband.
I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.
I remember moving out to L.A. straight after college and just starting to try to write scripts and trying to get stuff off the ground.
I didn't go to L.A. because I wanted to move to California. I went to L.A. to work as an actor.
I couldn't get an acting job to save my life when I moved to L.A.
