Born, 1944 in Baltimore, Maryland. We were not rich in monetary means but we were rich in family and our Jewish heritage. When I was 3 years old my family headed out West and we made our home in California. When asked where I'm from I always say California because I was 3 years old when we moved there and that is where I grew up. I have 4 brothers, two younger, two older. Needless to say I was a tomboy and participated in all sports activities I could.

My family always joked that I was a Sarah Bernhardt. It wasn't until years later that I found out who she was. I always loved entertaining my family. Every Sunday we used to have these great family dinners and my cousin and I always entertained them. I loved growing up in California and my love of the ocean was inevitable. All the beach parties and of course the Beach Boys. The 50's and 60's to me, were the greatest.

I graduated from High School in 1962. Did some modeling which led me to Hollywood and acting. I also enrolled in college, where I wanted to major in Journalism. College bored me and besides I was commuting daily to Hollywood and ended up at Desilu Studios for three years. I also traveled doing summerstock. During that time period, I moved to Hollywood and had a ball, those were the days. I got married, had a son and soon, my marriage fell apart. My son and I left for Italy, it was supposed to be for a short period and it ended up, being five years. I learned Italian and adjusted quite well. I loved it, absolutely loved it. After I arrived in Italy, I decided I wanted to live long, rather than live and have it all, I never regretted that decision to this day. That's a book unto itself, if I ever get it finished.

When I came back to the United States, I was a different person. It took a while for me to adjust and during the adjustment I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, with the intention of going back to Italy. However as things happen, I met someone and we got married. I worked in the casino industry for the first five years. I met many of the old entourage that formed Vegas, however things changed and so did the faces running the town. I didn't like it anymore and my marriage fell apart. I started an Interior Decorating business, then had a terrible skiing accident which took five years recovery time in my life. During my recovery time, things just got worse. But my faith grew stronger. In approximately 1982, I accepted Jesus Christ in my life and my whole life changed. The next ten years was a rebuilding of my life with my two sons.
