3) Person of interest and major inspiration...Woody Allen

Woody Allen is the modern day Renaissance Man. An internationally recognized screenwriter, director, actor, musician, and playwright, Woody Allen has always involved himself in the dramatic arts since a very young age.

Woody Allen is the definitive American rags to riches success story. Growing up as a poor boy in New York City, he began writing his own material as a teenager just to get by! Never one to follow the path set before him, Woody Allen also dropped out of two different Universities and blazed his own path.

I can identify with his sense of humour and consider many of his works modern day classics. Annie Hall, a world renowned romantic comedy that defined the genre before it was even created, ended up winning four Academy Awards the year it was nominated.

More recently, movies such as Lost in Translation, Match Point, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona has captivated younger audiences worldwide and have won him praise and accolades from many of his peers.

As an actress is it my personal goal to one day star in a Woody Allen film. As an older gentleman, Woody Allen can be assured that he has left his mark in both Hollywood and the international cinema.

His unique ability to make you laugh while still providing subtler points that you only catch upon a second or third viewing is perhaps one of his most interesting and recognizable qualities.

He can connect with audiences of all ages, and has remarkably gained a younger following while not alienating his original fans from some forty years ago! His films standing among the best that Hollywood has put out in their respective genres and will surely be watched for generations to come.

I hope one day I have the privilege of saying I have worked with such a master of the cinema.
