My Dad's 85th Birthday

I grew up in music before I ever stepped in front of a camera.

My Dad came from the United Kingdom to Hollywood in 1965, carrying nothing but his talent, his style, and a belief that something bigger was waiting for him here.

Music wasn’t something we listened to. It was something we lived.

Today, I found an old matchbox cover in his drawer. On it was a tiny image of him and his band — frozen in time. I turned it into a picture to honor that moment… that courage… that beginning.

In this video, I’m dancing in our living room in Agoura Hills, holding that memory in my hands.

This is where it all started for me too.

Before modeling. Before Hollywood. Before anyone knew my name.

I was a little girl watching someone chase a dream across an ocean… and learning that it was possible.

This is why I believe in you.

Because I’ve seen what happens when someone dares to begin. 🎶
