My parents are such great people, ... They wanted me to do whatever it was that I loved doing.
I really liked that my character was Jewish, yet she wasn't a stereotype,
In New York I was always offered the hot, sexy roles. But in L.A. I was offered the plain, dowdy roles. It says a lot about the difference between the coasts.
The Cheers' character Lilith is not based on the Jewish myth,
The laughs are earned by the really well fleshed out characters.
