I was born in Munich, and my father was stationed in Salzburg. For the first three years of my life, I lived in Austria back when the American Army was still in Austria. I grew up subsequently in posts around the country around veterans.
I got space from Travis Air Force Base, went back to the Philippine Islands and made it a point to meet the only American casting director in the Philippines. I was off and running.
I've travelled a huge amount, but almost all of it has been through work. I spent five years stationed in London in the special services of the American Air Force, producing and directing shows for the troops, which I absolutely loved.
It ended up taking eight years to finish college because I got deployed and went overseas.
My father was in the military, so I was in Okinawa.
My husband is a general's chauffeur somewhere in France.
My father fought in the war, and then he was posted all 'round the world with his job. So I didn't know him very well when I was young.
I was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, for a while, about which the less said the better, and then I was in the Mediterranean, about which the more said the better.
I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there.
