Hi everyone, well, this is my story... I grew up in the Country, outside Northwest Houston. When I was 15yrs old I looked for work as a Model, on my own, and started doing shows, in the Houston area. When I was 19 yrs old I was chosen by an Agency from Paris, with 4 other girls to Model, so I went. In that same trip, I also worked for an Agency in Barcelona. At 21 I wanted to go back to Europe to Model, so I went to Hamburg, Vienna & Milan. When I came back to the States, I left for Los Angeles to visit a friend, and stayed. I was in Los Angeles for 6 years, when I decided to take Acting classes, which I would have never thought I would do, but I found I was more passionate about Acting then I had ever been about anything I'd ever done. I worked very hard studying, and working on many Independent projects, until I moved back to Texas 10 years ago, to be with family. Life changes happened, and I am back in Los Angeles now, and working toward the completion of a Documentary I started about 5 years ago, which I am more than half way through. I have worked as a Producer, Casting Assistant, Wardrobe Supervisor & Assistant, and done Still Photography on Two Films...I love being on sets, love. In 2009 I worked with a Guitarist in Denmark, (Torben Enevoldsen) on songs, I did the lyrics, and a couple of years ago he released an album there, with one of the songs I helped with, on it...it was pretty cool, the song was "Cold". Since I moved back, I've also just completed a Meisner Intensive at Baron Brown Studios, in Santa Monica, and hope to work as an Actor, and on other Productions, while I am completing my Documentary, and it;s a little further along. The Film deals with Social issues & finding ways to help young people. There is a story that is the base of the Documentary, that we are working from. I already have an amazing Youth Organization involved, that we will be filming, in action, in the next months. Also, I have Headshots, but they need updating, as I chopped my hair shorter, so because I am working very hard, on the Documentary, I have not done them....when I start looking for a Manager or Agent, I will. I was AFTRA for years and became SAG after the merge, so I wanted to get going Acting again for sure, I just have a mission, at this time that I feel I need to complete. I am also writing a script regarding the base story, of my Documentary. I have about 65 pages of a complete mess, but the story and dialogue is good. I would like to find someone to Co-Write it with, when it's time. I know that was a lot, but...there's a lot to say :) Thanks for your time.

Hi, Dana. Wishing you all the best in all that you do. Shoot me a message if you need any help with your bio story. I just got done helping a good friend of mine, Abigail Rich, with her true, tell-all life story. She is also a model,/actress.
Hey Izzibella, nice to meet you :) That's very nice of you, I really appreciate it :) It's actually a Based on a True Story Film...It's about a friendship and someone I lost. It probably sounded like a Bio because I was going on about different things :)

Dana, the offer still stands. I've written over twelve books in the past three years. Although I'm not an expert, there is always so much to learn, but I have experience in writing fictional and nonfictional stories. Just let me know if I can help in any way :)
Well, in that case!! ;) Hey, I'm sure there will be a point where I may come knocking on you Stage32 door ;) I am very grateful for help from people, I need it...we all do sometimes right? :) Thank you.

Wow! Great Dana! I wish you all the best! I am a musician mainly working on my new muisc! :-) Have a wonderful day Dana! www.rachelwalkertrio.com !
Thank you Richard, it;s great to be here! And thanks Rachel, I will check out your website and music :) It's funny, I just remembered (my memory is pretty shot) that I worked on music with a Guitarist in Denmark in 2009, I think I was. I did lyrics for him for like 9 months...total accident, and the time difference nearly killed me, but he used one of the songs on an album there a few years back. I love music, what an awesome gift.
