~ The Orange County Register!

******************************

"I was struck by her performance as always. Especially her opening scene. It was the first real moment in the entire play and it shook the audience up."

******************************

"She is an amazing actress. ... The day of the party, I decided to drive to LA. When I got there, she put up this movie called Silver Patriot. I mean you couldn’t even recognize her. And I mean this character was off the wall. So I called Joey and was like, I found our Tammy. I mean her acting was out of this world. So I told Joey to visit her Web site, and he did. I mean, yeah, she’s good. But that’s the thing that people don’t realize. She’s blonde, and she’s petite, she’s not like the Tammy on screen. We really needed to bring her in and she just blew Joey out of the water when she read it. If you need proof, here’s her dedication. She gained 35 pounds for the role and she brought in wigs. What you see there, she looks nothing like that. You would never know she was Tammy if you saw her on the street. She comes to the screenings and no one can believe that was her. When she read it, and read that role, she went into it, and she really was floored by it. She kept saying women don’t get those roles often. I mean we are all convinced, if this was some big studio, some of the biggest names would be involved in it. It really was a tour de force. When I still see her performance, it gives me chills. I absolutely loved her performance, she’s a powerhouse. .. She really knocked it out of the park. Joey and I are working on a movie, called Two, about stem cell and cloning. We are casting her in that. She’s a tremendous talent. But most importantly, she’s a sweetheart, a nice person and a consummate professional."
