Lady Chatterley and Ugly Betty

Two new women in my life. Starting a new audio book on Sunday and hopefully, watching myself in an ABC promo for one of their popular television shows! Okay. A surreal day. Shot a promotional piece for ABC and Ugly Betty today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, across from where Jimmy Kimmel tapes. About 12 of us were picked and selected into two groups. I was in the first group. We walked out on the sidewalk and near the shoot location. Tourists and passersby were already starting to stare. Then the producer (or someone important from the show) pulled me aside and told me that I was going to be featured with lines and in front of the other four. OMG! I'm standing there doing my lines...people start gathering around us and taking pictures. I'm in front of the Kodak Theatre on the corner of Hollywood and Highland on the famous Walk of Stars. It was f-ing crazy! This is certainly not a huge deal for big-time actors, but for me, being in the exact spot, taping a national promo with tourists and a bunch of peeps watching as if I/we were celebs...it was like the first big event I did for Mark & Brian/KLOS Radio. They were so big and so popular. Listeners and fans were asking for my autograph and picture simply because I worked with them. But, this time was different. I was the talent. Whether or not I get as much face time as I actually filmed - ask me if I care. It was the BOMB. On to Lady Chatterley. Starting my recording of this classic book on Sunday. I guess there is a line about weaving flowers in pubic hair, or something like that. Dude, cool. Bring it on. My husband's hoping it will put me in the mood! Hey, maybe that's why he suggested I pick that novel for my next audio book...
