Sheree's Favorite Charities:

 



Sheree and Vicki
consider each other best friends		 Tribute to Vicki and others living with MS

     Sheree credits her early career choices and success to the good advice of Vicki Light, at that time a theatrical agent, and ever since her friend.  Since Vicki had expressed confidence in her as a model, Sheree felt secure to confide that she really always wanted to act.  Vicki recommended Sheree go to New York, do the modeling thing, and use her money to take acting classes.  “Modeling was a great stepping stone for me,” Sheree says.  “It taught me about cameras, lighting, perseverance and the art of patience.”  Vicki then helped steer her to Hollywood.
     Vicki had to close down her theatrical agency a few years ago because of the progression of her multiple sclerosis.  Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild such as numbness in the limbs or severe -- paralysis or loss of vision.  “I would love it if Vicki were still my agent,” says Sheree.  “And I would love it if she could function in the capacity that she used to; but she’s not able to, because of the MS.”

For more information about Multiple Sclerosis visit The National Multiple Sclerosis Society website.
