Many life changes took me from university, to retail, to working in the film industry to working in so many different areas that would take too long to list. Loved them all!
So many life experiences. A couple I that just remembered tonight that I want to share with you.
I started working as an extra in the film industry (that is someone that usually is in the background, may have a featured spot, but no speaking part).
My first of many extra part was in 21 Jump Street, the original, with Johnny Depp.
I was lucky enough to be part of many episodes with him. I have to say that he was a really nice guy, great sense of humor, and always great with everyone he worked with no matter what part you played in the production.
My second, of many extra parts. was in Wise Guy with Ken Wahl.
I was so lucky to be part of so many episodes. Working with Jonathan Banks, Kevin Spacey, Tim Curry and so many more great actors.
The one the came to mind tonight that was the best of a working life experience was when I played a waitress in a bar scene. The cast, well WOW, Debbie Harry, Glenn Frey, Mick Fleetwood, and many more. How lucky was I to be a part of this!
This was done in Vancouver, B.C. It was a winter night and I was late so parked my car in Gastown and ran to get there on time. The filming took hours. Loved every minute. At the end I went to drive home and my car was gone – towed. I went back to the set and they all chipped in to help pay to get my car out.
But hey, what an experience. A life experience that I will always remember.
Did you know you can give someone a life experience gift?

They offer her/him an alternative adventure to the resorts, cruises and motor coach tours – an authentic and unforgettable life-changing experience! Each experience they offer is not only a different place but a different type of adventure. Whether she/he wants to kayak in a far away place, visit vineyards in the USA, or explore the best beaches in far away lands. This gift is the difference between booking a trip and fulfilling a once-in-a-lifetime adventure they will always remember.
