New Movie Role in Small Chairs…

I am happy to be working on an independent movie called Small Chairs, with Lea Thompson, Danica McKellar, Scott Patterson and Dustin Milligan. Dustin plays my son and it will be fun to work with Scott again, who played my husband in A Beer Tale. Danica and I both spoke at an environmental event years ago, and she is incredibly smart (she writes math books!). I know Lea from back in the 80s when we were auditioning alot for the same roles and she is very nice. The movie is directed by Rachel Goldenberg, who has created some very funny pieces for Funny or Die. The film takes on Christmas day over the span of 30 years. It is the story of the evolving friendship and love between two kids (Danica and Dustin) whose parents are best friends. Takes place in Illinois but we are shooting in Los Angeles during a heat wave – hmmm, I hope the house in which we film has air conditioning!

    Hi Alexandra

    When is this planning on being finished and aired? Will this be on network or cable as we just use the antenna for our TV being we only really watch the news so don’t watch much TV as of late but if it’s on network will be sure to tune into it when it does come out.

    Or is this going to be on the big screen

    Had the honor of sitting next to you in one of the dinner scenes as a dinner guest(accountant). Your calm presence made everyone relaxed and made it easy to have fun at the table. You were terrific!

    Alexandra,

    It was a pleasure meeting you! My daughter Cheyanna was an extra for a couple days. The cast & crew were great! She loved the scene with everyone in the living room taking turns with the mic…. until she thought she was next! Where she was positioned it looked like she could be, and then someone asked her! Ha-ha!

    Please post release date and information when you know, we’re excited to see it! Thanks for taking pictures with her, they’re posted on her Page if you want to see them. (hope you don’t mind, if so, just let me know)

    Sharon & Cheyanna
