I was in Starship Troopers

Way back when I did martial art stunts and weighed 104 pounds.

But not this one...

  1. Martial arts stunts is quite more impressive than weighing 104 pounds. As a brilliant friend said, who cares about weight? He was right! The most important thing is how you feel about yourself. Physical activity matters more than weight. The only time I can think of weight is if you are a jockey and you have to meet weight standards.

  2. Ah, but being a professional actress is the EXACT same thing as being a jockey...trust me...you have to meet weight standards to be hired on camera.

  4. Another similarity: both jockeys and Hollywood actresses are frequently asked to ride before being hired.

  5. That is absolutely FABULOUS!

    And didn't Sarah Brightman go on to a career in Broadway musicals?

    (How are you, by the way?)
