"The Real Housewives of New York City." Oo! And "Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood." I feel guilty.

First stage kiss:

Mike Mathieu in Into the Woods at my high school. The Prince and the Baker's Wife. I know I blushed profusely afterwards and stared at the floor while stammering through the rest of the scene.
|
|
Favorite post-show meal:
|
The "Under $10" Menu at Angus McIndoe. You'll find the company of The 39 Steps there every Thursday night. But please don't bother us. We are very famous.

When I was 20, I was a Toreadorable in Gypsy at Great Lakes Theatre Festival in Cleveland, Ohio.
|
|
Worst onstage mishap:
|
My second night on in The 39 Steps, I used my head to knock a set piece off its perch. The audience laughed, and I froze. Jeffrey Kuhn was very helpful and laughed too.
|
|
Worst costume ever:
|
I was a tree in a production of The Wizard of Oz when I was a sophomore in high school. Burlap sack. Branches fixed to my head. But never was I so excited to be on a stage.
|
|
Pet's name:
|
My nine-pound Yorkie pup is named Lolly (Best pronounced "Lolleeeeeeeeeeeeeee!")
|
|
Favorite junk food:
|
Popcorn. Movie theater-style.
|
|
Who would play you in the movie?
|
Someone entirely more clever than me. But please let it also star John Krasinski, and please let me have a cameo as a waitress or a salesgirl.
|
|
If you could star in any Hitchcock film, which would it be?
|
I would choose "Rear Window." Who could resist those gorgeous costumes designed by Edith Head and worn so beautifully by Grace Kelly?
