As a kid in Cleveland Ohio, I took acting classes at the Cleveland Playhouse and decided at age 9 I would be an actress. My parents, on the other hand, decided to encourage more concrete intellectual pursuits by sending me to Macduffie School for Girls - a rather severe boarding school in New England – which only doubled my resolve. Somehow I got accepted into Interlochen Arts Academy for my remaining years of high school and after graduating, I headed to England to study acting at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School – a glorious and invaluable experience. Upon my return, while vacationing in Canada I ran across a book about Edith Piaf that truly changed my life, and when I heard the songs I’d read about, it became my mission to sing them myself. I started out replacing the coat rack of a small French restaurant in Cleveland once a week. Shortly thereafter, I was up to 5 weekly gigs in other venues, expanding my repertoire to include Dixieland blues and jazz, Broadway tunes and standards. All this singing got me my Equity card in a production of The Club playing Johnny, and soon I was on the road with A Chorus Line as Maggie, which led me to Broadway playing Diana. Morales, singing "What I Did for Love" every night. I took a leave of absence from the show to go to Paris and learn to speak French. I fell in love with the city, met the man of my life, ended up living in Montmartre with him and working in jazz clubs and French theatre.
