Welcome! So glad you found this site. But why, you ask, browse through it?

You may be looking for a talented, experienced actress for your film, commercial, industrial or VO work. Have a look at my Acting Background. Click on underlined credits and get the back story and photos or audio.


I have written two children's books. They are "Walking in Parks with Livia" (about the power of imagination) and "Doves" (about a little girl who becomes a bit compulsive with her newfound interest in a dove that alits on her windowbox), both still unpublished. I am seeking representation / publisher. Click on the title to read an illustrated sample chapter of each.

My guests and I are a little hemmed in by cameras,
but that's fine by me.


Behind the scenes, the mighty crew toils on.

Eddie Fisher, Doug Robertson, and Jan Levine.

Talk show host/interviewer

Click on "Movie Close Up," for a description of the show and a list of previous guests with their links. This show airs on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. PST on Comcast and Astound Cable Networks, Channel 29 and AT&T Cable Channel 99, as well as video streamed. Go to accessf.org and click on Veoh during our live transmission. It is an intimate, intelligent and fast-paced interview show in which I talk with Bay Area filmmakers, show movie clips of my guests' works and upcoming films, and review the latest releases, all while responding to audience call-ins.

Also, downstream celebrity interviews from the archives! Go to Dovetail.tv and ChanZ.tv to check out my interviews with people like Jeff Bridges, Kim Bassinger, John Waters, Devine, Joan Chen, Marine World Africa Animals, Nick Cassavetes, Dick Shawn, Kitten Nativadad, John Phillip Law, Weird Al Yankovic, Simon Jones (original Hitchhiker) Tab Hunter, Paul Bartel, Judd Nelson, and more.... They're irreverent, funny, and historic, done on location in some of the hottest spots in San Francisco.

Need a review on an upcoming movie?

At Movie Reviews, there'll be no thumbs, no hats, no stars, no gimmicks. I won't tell you to go or not go. I've seen dueling reviewers condemn and praise a movie for the same exact reasons. So, what's the point? Instead, I will give you some insight into a film, perhaps an unusual perspective. Though sometimes I won't be able to keep from saying I loved a film. But I know that doesn't mean you necessarily will as well.

My reviews also appear on Medium Rare , the website which concentrates on women and people of color in entertainment.

I've also added a page of my past reviews on this site. Please check out the old movies and what I thought about them at Archives if you're thinking about buying, renting or downloading.

I don't take this task lightly, obviously.

Are you looking for a DOG?

This is the most comprehensive list of Dog Rescues in the Bay Area that I've seen anywhere.

No need to ever breed or buy from a breeder or pet store. Whatever kind of dog you're looking for is available already, and needs your love and protection now. Until they all have homes, rescue.



Admittedly, a very old photo of
me and my first dog, Push Mush

For instance:


You can't find a dog like this at any breeder or pet store.
This is Gigi, my new rescue. (I will love you, Livia, forever.)
Gigi was found roaming the streets of Antioch pregnant.
I guess someone bought a cute dog, didn't want to pay to spay her,
a nd toossed her out on the street when she got pregnant.
Gigi had her pups at the H.A.L.O. foster mom's house.
Then I was lucky enough for find her online and we're together now.
What breed is she? Gigi us a unique, one-of-a-kind rescue dog
who will fill my life with love and companship for the rest of hers.

Got a blank wall?

If you're looking for quality art for your home or office, please click on Sheryl Steiger Young's Etchings. My sister was born with a real talent, especially for printmaking. As you will see, her etchings reflect nature, animals, eroticism and fantasy with rare artistry and detail. Her work has shown in a plethora of galleries and shows.
