About Me:
 
I am creative, free-spirited and idealistic, a proud non-conformist, and consider myself the luckiest woman in the world. I'm a graduate of Rutgers University and Harvard University and an eternal kid. It's absolutely amazing to be able to come and go whenever I want without having to answer to anyone and having the free time to pursue a wide variety of different interests. While those of my friends who are married send their children to classes, lessons, and extra-curricular activities, I get to do all those myself! I love performing, have experience in theater and film, and periodically take acting classes in NYC. I have worked as an actress my entire life, doing more work than I can count, especially musical theater, horror films, and most recently, Renaissance Faires. I ran for my local town council in 2002 and 2005 and came very close to winning. Both campaigns were wonderful experiences, and I can't wait to run again, knowing it's only a matter of time before I win. I write for a weekly newspaper in NJ and freelance. I have taken several Leadership Training courses over the years including the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Environmental Stewardship class, Leadership Somerset in Somerset, NJ, the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions (ANJEC) Inaugural Environmental Leadership Training, the Governing Institute of NJ, and the Women's Campaign School at Yale. I'm proud to be an anti-establishment liberal hippie for life and will fight unfairness with all that I am and all that I have. In March 2011, I obtained a Graduate Certificate of Science in Astronomy from Swinburne University. I will do anything to get Pluto's planet status reinstated and am currently working on a book about Pluto. My friend jokingly call me "Plutogirl" and use astronomical terms to describe me as an actress, with the favorite being "One star to eclipse them all!" I'm definitely a star (self-luminous) and not a planet (an object that only reflects the light of stars).

As a baby, I was described by a high profile person in show business as "the most beautiful baby of the year." As an actress, I was described during the 1980s by a reviewer as "one of the most beautiful teenagers to walk the Earth." Funny to have someone saying that not knowing I'm really from Pluto! :) But I still look like a teenager, which must mean I'm aging the Plutonian way (one Pluto year equals 248 Earth years)!

Mike Brown tries his hand at comedy as he pretends not to know how many known moons Pluto has in a pathetic show of envy.

I will never "grow old gracefully." In fact, I will never "grow old" at all.
