Bunny Levine

Bunny Levine has had a passion for entertaining from her earliest memory At the age of two she subjected all her relatives to her rendition of the song When I Grow Too Old to Dream at every possible opportunity Playing with her sister and friends in preschool days her favorite game was a simulation of the performances of the current Hollywood stars replete with screams and fainting in the mode of the times Her greatest regret was that she unlike her contemporary Shirley Temple had not been discovered in dance class By third grade she wrote directed and starred in the epic Debbies Diary A year or so later with increased maturity she limited her contributions to no more than two of the three elements All through elementary school and high school she played either the lead or a character role in school and local productions Transferring colleges on her marriage after sophomore year made her rethink the wisdom of a short young character woman gaining fame and fortune in the field so she switched majors from Theater Arts but continued to act and to work on the college radio station Already pregnant upon graduation she put her acting aspirations on the back burner for 25 years working primarily as a school librarian to help her underpaid college professor husband raise their three children Storytelling and book talks helped fill her performing aspirations Foolishly she would not participate in community theater thinking of herself as too much of a professional Upon early retirement she began taking acting classes going on auditions and gradually immersing herself totally in the fabulous mad world of acting Soon she was a member of all the unions and began booking commercials roles on soaps and episodics as well as films Upon her beloved husband Bernies death she moved from the New York area to the LA market and continued studying booking and striving Among her credits are Law Order 1990 The Jimmy Show 2001 Everybody Loves Raymond 1996 Gilmore Girls the soontobereleased Charles Busch film and Las Vegas 2003 She considers herself the most energetic and agile septuagenarian in the field and the oldest living student her philosophy being that you can never stop learning and exercising the acting muscle
