Mary Lou Belli and Dinah Lenney met when they were both young actors in New York City. Mary Lou beat Dinah to the West Coast, and cast her in the first play she directed in Los Angeles. They've been working and playing together off and on ever since, as actor and director, teachers, and members of the PTA.
After years of coaching performers of all ages, the authors have joined forces to provide a comprehensive guide, targeting the needs of young actors, but worth reading for anyone interested in the actor's craft.
"We hope the book will serve to motivate and inspire kids who want to act, regardless of their previous education or experience."
Mary Lou and Dinah
"Mary Lou's and Dinah's book should be required reading for every actor before they even get to L.A. I want to leave copies of it in my waiting room."
G. Charles Wright, Casting Director, THAT 70's SHOW
