Modeling allowed me to travel all over the world. Great adventures for a young adult. Here the black beaches of Hawaii.
Home magazine layout - freezing cold I remember.
I modeled for awhile. Swimsuits in winter, coats in summer., but it was really my fascination with being behind the camera that kept me going... and I enjoyed the traveling.

'Make Room For Grandaddy'
Danny Thomas returned to television with Make Room For Grandaddy and it was great being back with the original cast once again. In the one season the show was on the air we had a multitude of fabulous guest stars including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Diana Ross and tons of others.
'Make Room for Grandaddy' only lasted a year. We were plagued with a writers strike. But I enjoyed filming these episodes with the cast as an young adult.

In 1978, I worked with Irwin Allen once again, when he cast me as Teresa in Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. The movie starred Michael Caine, Sally Field, Peter Boyle, Karl Malden, Jack Warden, Shirley Jones, Slim Pickens, Veronica Hamel, Telly Savalas and Mark Harmon as my love interest. The shoot was very physically demanding in classic Irwin Allen style.
It was Mark Harmon first acting role. He was a great guy.

Peter Boyle played my father.
There were many scenes where we were under water in the ocean off Catalina or in a large tank.
Months before I started shooting I was caught in a rip tide off the California coast and I nearly drowned. It was terrifing to put myself under water once again but it was Mark Harmon, who was a natural athlete that helped me with those difficult scenes.
I loved working with Michael Caine. He was always looking out for us.
Buddy breathing with Slim Pickens. Three people on one airhose was scary as hell for me. But Slim Pickens only had one lung, so he was probably terrified also.
Shooting in Catalina waters where sharks were circling. Do I look terrified?

October 2018 - Comic Con
At one point I went to a famous hairdresser to upgrade my look and he took my long hair and chopped it off. Although I sat in shock I have to admit it was liberating. I went to Italy and modeled for awhile.
