Once
things settled down, I made my home in LA. I started taking acting classes
and landed a few good roles on TV (a Twilight Zone episode) and
in movies (Real Genius with Val Kilmer and The Men's Club
with Harvey Keitel). Playboy really helped me get my career moving. They
also helped me land the job of spokesperson for Suzuki. I appeared on
posters and toured for them. But the highlight was when I got to announce
motocross events at the Houston Coliseum in front of 80,000 people. I
was nervous, but it was so much fun to do.
After five years, I started to really miss the East Coast and my family.
I was also growing weary of the instability of being an actress. I wanted
something secure in my life. So I returned to New York, received a communications
degree from the University of Buffalo (graduating at the top of my class-Cum
Laude) and started my own marketing business. It is nice to be near my
roots again, but sometimes I do miss the LA lifestyle I left behind. I
think that I will return someday. But first I'd like to fall in love and
start a family and then go wherever our hearts take us!
In
the meantime, I keep busy by working out, snowmobiling, skiing, horseback
riding and bungee jumping. And I always love to travel and see new places.
In fact, I am now getting ready to move to Toronto. It is a beautiful
city, and I can take my business with me. Also, after ten years out of
the spotlight, I would like to try to get back into modeling and acting.
Yes, I still have the bug! So wish me luck! And thanks for all your support!
Love,
Penny
