    hi - how are things going? Did you ever catch My Best Friend's Girl? I did not and probably will not till DVD - but just wondering if our "big tourist/park scene" made the final cut - take care -

    Ironically my friend just saw My Best F. Girl last night and said our scene is clearly in it -things seem to be pretty slow around here in general - hopefully we will all be busier soon - take care

    Hi Russell, I'm Marylou Depeiza I think we met at Bradley's Model event at the Hotel Indigo.  I received an email yesterday for a non-union casting call. It was for the American Society of Reg. Anesthesiology. I replied with photo and contact info, but person's email wasn't correct and it came back. The email was tamara@imagemta.com  Is there another person to send it to?      

  • Marylou Depeiza

    I'll try again, thanks.
