actress

I had dinner with one of my clients from a big time movie studio and she and my boss basically hammered into my head that packing up and moving to LA and trying to become an actress is hands down the worst thing I can do.

A. Trying to be an actress is stupid and unrealistic because 
1. I'm small and not particularly attractive.
2. I won't get naked and sleep around with men to climb the acting ladder.
3. I've never acted before.
4. When I'm stressed out or don't get enough sleep I get cold sores which is effing gross and nasty. 

But gosh dammit who cares! I'm taking acting classes soon on top of my improv classes and I will pull all the tricks out to book acting gigs. 

Plus, I practice crying scenes in my car all the time, and on the toilet so don't tell me I'm not attempting to perfect the acting craft.

My goal is to be a star and with the money and status, help out dogs in need and families who need help!

I will succeed, I just hope my weaknesses bring me down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Hi Ellie! I am glad your back from your hiatus and I say, if this is your dream then believe in yourself and practice your craft- in the end you will succeed!Also, you are too funny for saying you practice crying while on the toilet.
    I too wanted to be in entertainment and at times daydream about it- I too might start getting back into this. Thanks for posting this, it makes me think what I want to do and if I should start again too.

  2. It's statements like that which encourage me more to accomplish my goals.

    Keep your dreams alive! I think you're VERY attractive, funny, and totally actor material!
