: "I seem that which I am; And therefore do I ask of thee, if thou wouldst be immortal?"-Lord Byron
:
: Legands never die
: Like the phoenix they fly above to face the darkness
: Glide below the surface to extinguish the flames of doubt
: Never are forgotten through fading embers
: Last forever because they are immortal
: --Iyanna Xanthalia Wolfspire
: REMEMBER BYRON

: (Robin....I really enjoyed watching your performance in B5...you are a remarkable actor and your talent will take you far...I am a Film Major/english minor at Penn State and always biked home each Wednesday night from class at mock five to watch the new series. I was wondering if you had any advice for a young aspiring actress trying to break into the business?--Thanks for your time
: Sincerely,
: Lynn Rossi
Lynn, Thank you for the beautiful poem!
My advice? Read, as much as you can... classics, contemporary plays...books...
And most importantly, keep a journal... something I regret not doing...
Cherish the special moments, Be specific! Take risks in your work as an actress!
Stay away from negative people and love what you're doing! After all, acting is
the most human of all the arts! Enjoy!
