Crystal arrived from Sam Christensen’s Actors Studio after attending an intensive workshop there.
She saw my photographs on their wall display and responded to the clean and direct approach to my shooting style, but also to the affordable special I was offering.
This Ukranian actress has beauty and brains and is taking charge of her artistic destiny by producing, directing and co-writing a short film, based loosely on her own life and struggles.
Fueled by the frustration of being a pretty blonde in Hollywood and being typecast for unseemly roles and characters she could not relate to, she decided that now was the time to “make her own way”!
L.A can be so predictably cheesy.
