Dear Cafetalk Community,

Happy Spring Equinox! As mentioned in my profile, I was previously an actress in Hollywood for a very long time. I've worked hard to accumulated over 50 American television appearances over the years. Working with Ted Knight ("Mary Tyler Moore Show" fame) was one of the most inspiring and profound experiences of my life. He was such a nice person with an enormous talent for comedy. I couldn't have had a better teacher!

I hope you can take a look at the video clip. I thought it would be fun to share it with you. My scenes are edited for your convenience. Also, if you're so inclined, please take a look at my entire list of television and film credits on IMDb. Here is the web link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0861069/

If you would like to talk about the acting profession or any other topic in English, please take a look at my profile page to see if I am a suitable English tutor for you! I am a friendly, fun, and caring teacher. It would be good to hear from you! I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

PS: The photo below is from a show I did in the 1980's called "T.J. Hooker" starring William Shatner. I played his daughter in the "Chinatown" episode.

PS: I'm on "Online Standby" a lot so if you want to take a lesson right away without waiting, please look for me there. Thank you!

Warmest regards,

Lady Ayame
