Age: 33.
Occupation: Actress.
Birthplace: Houston.
Current home: Los Angeles.
Marital status: Married to director John Pasquin.
Working on: ”Adam: His Song Continues,” on NBC-TV Sept. 29.
My worst date: I met a guy in the unemployment line. We went out and found we had nothing in common except being out of work, but he wouldn`t stop calling.
The last good movie I saw was: ”Mona Lisa.”
I stay home to watch: ”Live from Lincoln Center” on PBS.
The book I`ve been recommending lately is: ”The Road Less Traveled,” by M. Scott Peck.
I`d give anything to meet: Sen. Ted Kennedy.
I hope I never have to: Make an emergency landing in an airplane.
The worst part of my job is: The pressure to be in a hit movie.
If I could change one thing about myself, I`d: Get rid of the part of my brain that censors me. There are times that I cut myself off from spontaneous reactions–both in life and as an actress–and I miss out on things that could be wacky and fun.
People who knew me in high school thought I was: Intelligent. I was in all the honor societies.
My most irrational act: When I was 16, I auditioned for a semiprofessional production of ”The Fantasticks.” I`d only done school plays before that, but I got the job.
My most irrational fear: I`m afraid lightning will find me and strike me wherever I am.
Nobody would believe it if they saw me: Do my ballet dancing in the morning in front of a mirror. I do it nude.
The worst time of my life: When I was living in New York eight years ago, working a little on the soaps and feeling that my career would never go anywhere. I`d wake up at 4 in the morning, worrying. That was just before I was cast as Dustin Hoffman`s girlfriend in ”Kramer vs Kramer.”
If I`ve learned one thing in life, it`s: Success only means as much as the spiritual growth that goes with it. If you neglect that side of yourself, you`ll feel empty, frustrated and worthless.
