• blurb

This is Melissa's official resume (as of around mid-Mar 96, at least) and a short ``blurb'' about her from Hartbreak Films, the production company run by her and her mother, Paula.

I changed the formatting of the resume slightly when I converted it to HTML. See the ``footnotes'' below for clarification on some things.

Some things to note:

• I have kept all spelling, capitalization and punctuation as it appears in the FAX copy Paula sent me. The original doesn't have bulleted items; this is just to make it easier to read on web-browsers.
• AEA is the Actor's Equity, for Broadway performers; SAG is the Screen Actors Guild; AFTRA is the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Oh, and ``MOW'' stands for ``Movie of the Week''.
• About that ``series regular'' thing on Saturday Night Live: Melissa was in five episodes during the 1984-85 season (the years given on the resume are wrong).
• Note that the actual name of the Benjamin Britten piece is ``The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra''. I'm not sure what ``Sessions'' refers to.
