The Bow Wow Club is about friendship, love,
responsibility, and survival. After almost 20 years,
five teenage friends reunite and are forced to choose between
their differences or the power of their lifelong bond.

successes and the shocking changes that take place in their
lives. Each one of these Dawg's has looked for
acceptance and compromise in a modern world that has proven
to be as big an adversary as the rival gang's of their youth.

Center.

Caroline Crossing
The year is 1939. Hitler has invaded
Poland, causing both France and Great Britain to declare war on
Germany. Fearing an imminent attack, Londoners are told to start the
evacuation of children to safer areas outside the city...
In the early morning hours, Caroline
Price is brought to Victoria train station. Rows of anguished faces -
Children are lined up in almost perfect formation, tightly clutching
their most prized possessions in one hand and their mothers' arms in
the other... From here, Caroline will cross the Atlantic to her final
destination... America.
As the German Luftwaffe drop bombs over
the city of London, Caroline struggles to accept her new home in the
countryside and her new family, The Johnsons. Caroline patiently waits
for a letter from her Mother, informing her that she may return to
London, but as the days go by and as the war abroad rages on without
any sign from her parents, she fears the worst.
Caroline Crossing is an intimate
portrayal of a young girl, torn from the only home she ever knew, who
must find a way to survive against the backdrop of a world at war
I had the opportunity to work on
Lifetime's "Strong Medicine." Director Katy Jelski
is an actor's director and made it an incredible day. Actor Kathleen
Wilhoite is an actor's actor - giving, warm, professional and
fantastic!!! (Kathy is a wonderful person too!!!)
"Strong Medicine" has an outstanding crew who made me
feel comfortable and welcome. My special thanks to the
Executive Producer's, who make the set a terrific place to work
and to Lori Sugar & Semone Leifer for bringing me into the remarkable
world of "Strong Medicine."
