Wood - Cellblock Sisters</b></font></h1>
<h2><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><b><font color="#FFCC99">Before
I starred in <i>CELLBLOCK SISTERS</i> (aka: <i>BANISHED BEHIND BARS</i>) I had
a small part in <i>CAGED HEARTS</i>. Did you see that? </font></b></font><font color="#FFCC99"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">I
have short dark hair in that one. Anyhow, while filming that movie I snuck into
a vacant trailer to eat my lunch one day. Turns out - it was the director's
trailer! He wanted a peaceful place to eat his lunch too. I got up to leave,
but, he told me I didn't have to. (Just for clarification: he was not a perv,
even though he does the kind of movies that he does. He has a lovely wife and
he never made a pass at me)</font></b></font></b></h2>
<p><font color="#FFCC99"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Anyhow,
he stared complaining about an actor on the shoot. This guy who didn't have
his lines down and was very inconsistent and was basically a pain in the ass.
The director talked about professionalism and how important it is, in addition
to talent. Then he told me that he loved my work in the scene I had. He apologized
for the part being so small. He said that he wants me to star in one of his
films. In fact, he promised that he would find a film for me. Now, let's remember,
I was born in Hollywood and I have been in this business my whole life. So,
I am no stranger to Hollywood promises. They don't mean diddley. Usually. </font></b></font></p>
<p><font color="#FFCC99"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Fast
forward to two years later. The director calls me. He and the producer take
me out for coffee and pitch the script to me. They want me to play April - the
tough, biker chick who tries to save her innocent sister from jail. After we
agree to a few things (like having the other actress do the nude-shower-fight
scene) we shake hands and ...the rest can be seen on Showtime...constantly.
</font></b></font></p>
<p><font color="#FFCC99"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">The
shoot wasn't easy. The temperature was in the high 90's that summer and we were
doing outdoor scenes in the valley. I love the heat, so, that part wasn't so
bad. But, I fractured my ribs doing a stunt and that part...that part was bad.
I taped up my ribs and showed up the next day anyway. The pain disappeared when
I was acting. But, after I heard the word "cut" - it would zing right back.
Yes, I could have sued...or at the very least, taken a break. But, young, enthusiastic
actors really just want to do one thing and one thing only. ACT! So, I did.
And ultimately, I had a good time doing it! </font></b></font></p>
<p><font color="#FFCC99"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><i>Cellblock
Sisters</i> - it ain't Shakespeare. But you don't really want to see me do Shakespeare,
do you?</font></b></font></p>
