It was one of the great chances in my life to become a Dumont actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To be a Dumont actor was considered to be a great honor for an actor, yet it also had its disadvantages.
Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him.
I had the privilege of working with so many great actors over the years.
I always wanted to be a great actor.
I was an actress long before I was a reality TV person.
I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.
I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.
I kind of fell into acting. I was very lucky.
My very first role was the character of Barbara Winslow in the movie 'Marmaduke.' Up until that point, I had only done commercials. I had never done a guest star role or a series, and yet they cast me!
A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak.
