I would have not been to timid to ask my stepfather (who was only my mother's boyfriend at the time) for the money to go to New York when I was accepted to study acting with Lee Strassburg. My father wouldn't give me the money because I sided with my mother during the divorce and I didn't have the guts when I was 18 to just pack my tap shoes in a suitcase and get on the bus. The killer is that I know now he would have given it to me.
