I am 36 and have no experience in acting , but always dreamed of being a celebrity. I watch TCM and the old MGM stars of the day and try to study them ,and learn from how they preform their craft . Call me an old soul, but that era is my favorite with so many of the GREATS in the pictures. I myself want to bring back some of the old style that those actors used in preforming .

Sincerely,
Jon Kanaday

Hi Im Leah and Im 13 years old. I really want to become an actress and if someone gave me a shot then I know I could do it :-) I dont go to an acting school but I do go to a performing arts school/college which is sort of a normal school but we do a lot of plays and productions. All my drama teachers think that because I am small and shy then I cant do a big part but when they give me a chance they say that I have potential. To be an actress would be a dream come true and I know that I could do it no matter what the part. Please give me a chance and I wont dissapoint :-D Thankyou
