Message from Sharon - ‘Dixie Carter’
MONDAY 04/12/10
I am brokenhearted about the passing of a friend and mentor Dixie Carter. As an actress, lady and center of her loving family, she soared above the rest and I am privileged to have known her.
Perhaps because I had the honor of sharing the mother/daughter relationship with her on screen, her passing has hit me hard. Her motherly love even as a character was a potent and precious gift. It was the NBC sitcom FIRED UP, I starred in which first gave me that gift as Dixie played my mother and then we did it again in LADIES MAN with Alfred Molina for CBS. Watching Dixie and Betty White spar as in-laws on that show was watching two true goddess of comedy.
It’s funny how much she has been on my mind lately. As time passes, she becomes even more of a role model for me. Just the other day, as I was dressing for a pilot in which I play Kristin Kreuk’s mother, I thought - “No jeans for me on this show. I’m gonna dress like Dixie. Bring that gracious elegance and cashmere softness to the role and the room.” Even as I write this, I hear her lusty laugh.
Although my heart is broken for her beautiful family as Mary Dixie is expecting Dixie’s first grandchild in June. There is comfort in the certainty she had everything and everyone she needed as she made her transition. Annie Potts gave me great comfort as she shared an eastern philosophy with me yesterday - ”Once the bottle is broken the perfume is everywhere”. That feels right because knowing she is gone, somehow brings her closer. My prayer is that Dixie knows how much this Southern sister loves, cherishes and carries her with me.

The Alternative Travel Project
WEDNESDAY 11/24/10
Over the last month, a small group of my friends and peers have had the amazing experience of creating THE ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL PROJECT. Seamus Dever and Stana Katic of ABC's CASTLE have given up their cars for 7 days over the course of this past month to learn what it is to live a car-free life in one of the most car-centric cities in the world. The result was amazing - they minimized their personal carbon footprint, they exercised more, they got more done, they used less oil, they saved money, and they felt better.
Their efforts are documented in four short episodes that can be found starting today, Monday, November 15, at www.alternativetravelproject.com. Please check in each day this week to see a different aspect of our journey.
It doesn't end there however. There are three separate opportunities for us all to participate and make this initiative global.
YOU can:
1. pledge to give up your car for a day via a link on the site
2. donate money to the Sierra Club to help advocate for greener lifestyles
3. send in your pictures of alternative travel
It's all on the website, so please share the videos and site with your friends each day this week, and for the weeks to come. Update your facebook status, tweet your friends, talk about it.
Day 1: (Video Above) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XUGQf5Ccs4
Small changes on an individual level lead to big changes for our planet.
Congratulations to special friends
TUESDAY 12/07/10

Filming A&E TV Series “The Glades”

We worked with Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards and Joey Logano too. It was so much fun playing the owner of a family racing dynasty and hanging with star Matt Passmore. See it on A&E on June 19th.
