Kell Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 1. I used to be an actor, but got sick of the moving around, so I gave it up and am now much happier. 2. I've had more names than some folks have had hot dinners. 3. I've had more jobs than some folks have had hot dinners. 4. I've been Pagan since I was 14 years old. 5. If I bang my elbow or my foot (or anything like that), I have to bang the other one too "to make it even". I'm not sure if those were the kinds of things you wanted to know, but there you go!

I hope you don't take that too far.. such as 2 broken limbs or the such!? hehe 1. Nope - I'm one of those female actors that hated the distinction between male & female - most of the female actors I know refer to themselves as actors nowadays - it's all to do with equality & everything - blah, blah, blah... LOL! 5. I've never officially broken a bone, but I suspect that both my big toes were fractured when I was a kid - both sides again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so bad now that they've grown up, but with an 8 year age gap between me and the next oldest girl it used to be quite lonely!

My uncle was at university, and one of his friends was one of Desmond Morris's post grad students, so I was a handy baby - in the right place at the right time!
