Above the knee / Résumé Anita |
As a working one-legged actor, as well as the mother of a college student, I try to take every opportunity to let people know I exist! I hope this will help to do that. Also, most of what I do lately is on the east coast, and I would like to do more on the west coast if the opportunity arises. As an activist for performers with disabilities, I appreciate this website and hope it continues to raise the visibility of professional, trained, experienced actors who are also amputees. |

I've figured out who I am. some people may never truly know because everyone is constantly changing with different events in their lives. change is good. even bad changes.

Above the elbow Vanessa - Photos |
Have modeled, danced and acted, but not for many years. I'd like to work as an actress, but am not interested in "background," or extra work. I'd like to see amputees becoming more visible in roles which don't portray them as victims--fully developed characters who just happen to be amputees (obviously that would be a part of the character development). As an aside, I'd also love to do radio, but my reason for being here is to try to drive a strong, positive influence in which we, as amputees, are seen as a whole... not a sum of our "missing parts." |
Below the knee Eric |
I'm 37 years old. I lost my
left leg below my knee. I am about a semester and a half from graduating
with my BS in Emerging Technology and Multimedia, which is a communication
degree. I would like to be part of "Amputees In Hollywood" because I think everyone should be aware of what we go through on a daily basis. Not saying that my life is tough, but roles and portrayals should be accurately shown. I recently read for a part in a film being shot here in Pittsburgh and the casting agency said I have a "knack" for the business, so I figured, why not! |

I am currently working on obtaining my certification for becoming a Personal Trainer. I love mixing it up with all people, young and old, handicapped and not. I grew up going to catholic schools where being involved in school plays was the norm. I would love an opportunity to participate in any acting roles. Anything that can bring my handicap to the attention of others is without a doubt positive. I imagine a world where people look and feel good and secure about ones self no matter how they look. I know I would be a great asset to Amputees in Hollywood. |

winning a 6 week scholarship to learn to fly a light aircraft in
South Africa.
So the potential for me to
do more is enormous.
Life is for living.
