All My Children & More!

WOW. What a week it's been!

I know it's been a while since I sent out a MarniWatch; let me preface this by saying I hadn't felt like there was anything to report, since my last stage show ended September 30, but I realize now that SO MUCH has been happening, that I haven't had time to think about it!

1. I just taped a role on ALL MY CHILDREN this past Wednesday!!!

I had a sweet little scene with Thorsten Kaye (Zach) and Susan Lucci (who, incidentally, is the only celebrity of note that has the same birthday as me) which will air March 5. (I am happy to report that both of them couldn't be nicer - they were so supportive!) That's the pic of me in my costume, above. Set those DVRs!!!

2. Just shot a featured scene in CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC last week!

This movie (produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Disney, I think) stars Isla Fisher; in my scene, she's changing in a bathroom stall, reaching for her fancy shoe, which has escaped her. I come out of my stall (as the store manager), notice the wayward shoe, give her friend a dirty look, wash my hands, and get out. Oscar time, I tell ya. ;)

3. In the same week, I had dinner at the Harvard Club with people from the Globe Theatre in London…

The thrill of my young life, to be sure. Who knows what this will lead to, but they were all very nice!

You all know about the reading of my play, Carol's Christmas, in LA, and how well that went; I'm now trying to concentrate on getting a public reading in New York, so I'll let you know when that happens. Again, if you know any theatres stuck for a Christmas show, let me know! I'm also working on two new scripts, but at my rate, it'll be 2010 before you see anything on those… :)

Most of my January was taken up with a trip to Atlanta for a trade show for the Belgians; I loved catching up with all my friends down there!

And the other big news is that I've had some great auditions and callbacks recently, and things are starting to happen through my new freelance agent, Harden-Curtis, so keep your fingers crossed there! It's a weird feeling trying to stay in the New York area after so many years spent hither and yon, but I'm LOVING fixing up my apartment with Jack and Nicole, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have a real home.

I love you all! I hope your lives are wonderful; please update me with your goings-on when you get a chance!

Thank you again and again for all of your support and encouragement in this crazy business, and I'm glad to know that you guys actually read this! :)

Love and hugs to all of you,
Marni
