A
couple of pictures from festivals:
Time for a
2008 update! 2007 was a great year that saw Kay travel across
North America promoting an independent film, visiting with old friends
and making new ones at each stop. She had guest appearances
on several popular television shows, including "CSI", "2 & 1/2
Men", "Boston Legal", "Ghost Whisperer", & "The Suite Life of
Zack & Cody", and the lead in a Lifetime movie. The
film in which she played the title character won awards at several film
festivals, and she herself was also recognized:
She
was the recipient of the inaugural "Rising Star Award" at the Temecula
Valley International Film Festival
She
was named "Outstanding Actor/Actress In a Film" at the Dixie Film
Festival
The
Hollywood Reporter labeled her "One to Watch" in their annual issue
devoted to young performers
What a year it
was, but we're expecting big things from 2008 as well!
The recent writers' strike meant that most
television series stopped production from November through February.
Kay took that opportunity to focus completely on school, and
as a result she'll complete all of the requirements for her
undergraduate degree (history) in the next few weeks. That's
right - she's graduating from a prestigious university (UCLA receives
more freshman applications than any other US university) at age 17!
While she's certainly not the youngest to do so, Kay's
accomplishment is even more remarkable because she worked steadily
while maintaining good grades, even spending months out of the country
on location.
Squeezing in
one last job before the strike shut things down, Kay did a pilot for a
potential new television series for ABC Family called "Happy Campers".
It was a lot of fun and she enjoyed working with great
people, but unfortunately it's not going any further. As a
result, she's now attached to a pilot for another network - we'll
provide details later, as they become available.
