It\u2019s a free-wheeling, in-depth conversation that will take you from Susan\u2019s Long Island origins to Hollywood\u2019s red carpets. Uniquely candid and straightforward, Susan talks about her childhood dreams of someday becoming an actress...and then details exactly how she made her dreams come true. With wit, charm, and unabashed talent, it didn\u2019t take Susan Sullivan long to go from college theatricals to the Broadway stage opposite Dustin Hoffman, to a Universal Studios contract and a starring role in television\u2019s daytime soap A World Apart. In this interview, you\u2019ll hear how Susan\u2014while starring in Another World\u2014learned the lesson of \u201cbeing prepared\u201d that she has carried her through more than 300 film and television appearances. Her list of credits is far too long to list here (check them out at imdb.com), but they include roles in Midway, The Incredible Hulk, Rich Man, Poor Man, Falcon Crest\u2014where her portrayal of \u201cMaggie Gioberti\u201d won her multiple Soap Opera Digest awards\u2014and most recently as \u201cMartha Rogers\u201d co-starring with Nathan Fillion on ABC-TV\u2019s Castle. Susan Sullivan candidly shares her personal philosophy about the acting craft and the need for us all to \u201cbe in the moment of your life.\u201d What she has to say will inspire anyone with ambitions to excel on any stage of life. Her remarks are far more than \u201cacting tips\u201d; they describe the life journey of an eminently successful, fulfilled artist that serves as a lesson in Life 101. Perhaps inspired by her life partner psychologist and best-selling author Connell Cowan, Susan emerges as far more than an erstwhile Playboy Bunny who made good as an actress; she\u2019s someone who understands herself and appreciates \u201cthe moments\u201d of our lives as few Hollywood stars ever have. Be sure to visit directly with Susan on her Twitter page (@realSSullivan) where she interacts with the world, shares her opinions, and enjoys her latest role as \u201cthe actor as teacher.\u201d ","author_name":"Where Hollywood Hides: Screenwriting | Television | Movies | Music | Show Business | Writing | Producing | Directing | Acting","author_url":"http:\/\/www.wherehollywoodhides.com","html":"
