Judge Michael Nash, the former presiding judge of Los Angeles County’s Juvenile Court, oversees the Office of Child Protection! Words cannot express my deep respect for him. #JudgeNash oversaw innumerable adoptions on #NationalAdoptionDay at the Edmund D. Edelman Children’s Court is a Los Angeles…an experience I treasured participating in over the years! National Adoption Day courts and communities in the United States come together to finalize thousands of adoption of children from foster care. casala.org
Let’s do lunch @sohohouse LA w/my iconic #agent #HarryAbrams who watched me perform w/ @abtstudioco in #nyc and approached me saying, “you could work as an actress if you stopped dancing.” Little did I know Harry loved #ballet rep’d #SuzanneFarrell and @susanjaffeofficial after me. AND he was right! We did a ton together spanning 3 decades and I’m still working! Next up… #SummerCamp in theaters 5/31! #grateful 🙏🏽❤️
