If you want it bad enough, make it happen


Hey World,

I have been a busy bee! I won my first acting award -- Best Actress in a Short Film in the New York International Film Festival. I am really proud because I have been working for this my whole life and I feel like I am receiving recognition for my hard work, which feels really amazing.

I am single and married to my career. There are a lot of actors, but not enough good actors, not enough clean, focused serious actors. I'm just not interested in dating unless I were to stumble upon a like-minded person.

I went to the TV Land Awards last weekend and met the cast of Glee, Happy Days, Charlies Angels, Love Boat, and many more wonderful people including Tom Hanks, Pam Anderson, Jay Leno, Betty White, Ray Romano, Dorris Roberts, Tim Allen... The night was a dream! I had such a nice time and I really love Sony Pictures, it is by far my favorite lot and just feels like home.

Another new interesting development in my personal life--my dad and I have "taken a break" from our relationship. He showed me his true self when he came to visit me in LA and lately he has been disrespectful to me. He is so bitter! I realize that he is in some sick way, unhappy with my success and happiness. It's hard but I just need to realize that his demeanor will not get in the way of my career. He actually puts me down and tries to break me down. I will absolutely not allow that kind of negativity in my life. Life is too short!

Last night was a fun CAA party and then I went out dancing with Wesley Snipes. What a fun character that man is!

I have met a LOT of great contacts lately so it will be really exciting and interesting to see what my next endeavor will be! There are a lot of new opportunities in the works and I am looking forward to a highly successful summer.

I am so lucky and blessed to be in the position I am in, living my dream and enjoying every minute! I hope to give back by working hard in my involvement with the American Cancer Society.

Much Love,
Alexandra
