Day in the Life of Actress
"Lights, Camera, and Action." To live a day in the life of an actress is one dream I had growing up. On August 22, 1995, I had the chance to make this dream become a reality. My name was pulled from a drawing to win a trip for two to Los Angeles and see the taping of the sitcom, "Baywatch." When the radio station called my house to tell me the news, I began to cry. As I jotted down the details, my hands were shaking because I was in complete shock. In exactly one month, I would be visiting California for the first time. We arrived at Will Rogers State Beach at 8:00am. Erin, one of the producers of "Baywatch", greeted my mother and me and gave us our VIP guest passes. As they began filming, standing right in front of me, was David Hasselhoff with a few other cast members. When watching "Baywatch" from my home television, I saw the cast as beautiful famous people, but actually seeing them perform in real life was outrageous and overwhelming. My mother and I took out our beach blanket and began to watch the filming. Fernando Castroman, the director, then walked over to me. "Hey you blonde beach babe, are you an extra?" "Ah, yes, yes I am, what do I have to do?"
"Glad to hear it, you take care sweetheart." " I just wanted to say goodbye to David because I am leaving now, is he around?" It was getting later in the afternoon and we had to go back on to the set and begin the second half of filming. Fernando asked me to be in another scene and this time it was with Jeremy. This scene was set up for Jeremy to be playing a game of football on the beach with his new adopted sister while a friend of his and her little brother watched the game taking place. I played the role of his friend but had no speaking part. The boy who played my little brother was a local Los Angeles resident who, like me, won a trip to see the taping of "Baywatch." The crew shot a few takes and then they had to move the cameras inside the lifeguard tower for scenes that would be filmed inside. "I like to kid around, you should know that after being here all day." Hearing Jeremy's song, I experienced deja vu. On the flight to Los Angeles they played a movie called "French Kiss," Jeremy's song was called "French Kiss." Perhaps I was meant to be the first person to hear his song. "Believe me I know." "Can we take another picture before I leave?"
