... I Learned The Hard Way That

I Have An Education Degree From The University Of Minnesota, And I Was A Teacher For About A Minute.

Look At Any Black-and-white Movie; Everybody Is Smoking.

I Talk About Acting To Students Making The Transition From High School To Ucla. Kids Going Into This Profession Really Need To Know The Reality Of It.

My Mom Started Smoking When She Was 11. She Went To The Hill Next Door To Try Her First Cigarette. She Set The Entire Hill On Fire, But It Didn't Deter Her.

My Memory Of My Mom Is A Wine Glass In One Hand And A Cigarette In The Other. She Was A Runway Fashion Model, And She Was Quite A Glamorous Woman.
