Hogging the Limelight Whenever Possible

I'm going to need a job soon to pay for ballet, piano, and karate
lessons times two!
If Alphonse Mucha were alive and painting, I'd audition to be a
hair model for him!
He rose to fame after doing a poster of
Sarah Bernhardt
in
"Gismonda."
My family called me "Sarah Heartburn" from the moment I learned a facial
expression can earn one a response from others!
At university I appeared as:
ditsy ballerina, Essie, in
You Can't Take It With You
...I did well enough that people on campus who didn't know me (or that I was on
the dean's list, or that I was a Who's Who Student), would greet and compliment
me on my performance and talk to me verrrry slooooooowly as if I were really
dumb;
chatterbox
Mrs. Soames in 
Our Town
; and
"mad, murderous, wh-re"
Abigail Williams in 
The Crucible
...a UIL drama-winning student sat next to me at a banquet and said that he was
scared to take the rolls I was passing him because he'd seen me as Abigail.
In all three productions I am now very embarassed to say that I was a
shameless, shameless, shameless scene-stealer in the true sense of the word...
an actor who skillfully or ostentatiously diverts attention to himself when he
is not intended to be the center of
attention
...except for the wedding scene of
Our Town
when Soames was unfortunately the center of attention. Bad me, bad, bad, bad
me.
I'm not saying I was/am a good actress...I admit openly that I'm a shameless ham. *oink!*
