In 2004 Ricky Schroder cast me in ‘Black Cloud.’ Ricky also asked me to help him with production and casting. This was the last film I was in as an actress. My soon to release book “I Forgive You’ A Memior will have a few chapters on why this happened. Bulling, defamation of character, hate crime, discrimination and obstruction – all took place in regards to me being absent from my acting career. I will be releasing one chapter January 2022.
