Last week I tuned into the television show Without A Trace and saw Dinah Lenney in a guest starring role. I knew she had shot the show but I didn't know the air date so I was pleased to catch it. The remarkable thing for me was watching her solid work, seeing her put into play all the things I hear her telling her students. I realized as I watched that we need to let our students know when their faculty is doing work they can view...or read! So many of our faculty write books and articles that I know we be interesting to our students. Dinah's a good example of that. With her friend and colleague (and another of our faculty) Mary Lou Belli
she co-authored Acting for Young Actors:The Ultimate Teen Guide. Dinah's newest book is a memoir entitled Bigger Than Life, A Murder, A Memoir. It's not only a wonderful read but it is a great insight into a lovely actress. Now she not only teaches acting, but she is also teaching writing in the graduate writing program at USC. But as I said, mark your calendar. This Wednesday night, October 17 Dinah's next guest starring role is in Private Practice.
