So I've spent a majority of my "Chrissie day" on YouTube looking up some of the best moments from the legendary shows like "The Dick Van Dyke Show", and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". I then stumbled upon some interviews with Dick, and Mary themselves. These are two of my idols, role models, two people who I admire more then anyone. Watching these videos fills me with such joy, and reminds me of why I love the theatre and dance. These two actors are so classy, and have a talent that you rarely see now-a-days. There are times I wish I had been born in a different century so that I could have been on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", such a heartwarming, groundbreaking, hilarious show.
So whats really on my mind right now? My dreams. My dreams of acting and dancing professionally. Its been something I have dreamed of since I was four years old sitting in my dining room belting "I Just Cant Wait to be Queen" (I substituted out the king..) Being famous is just something that gives me such a high. Preforming is something that I just adore, I wish I could be known worldwide for acting of dancing like my two idols are. I wonder if I will ever be able to make these dreams come true. Its when I start to get down on myself tat I think of the biographies of MTM and DVD and all the struggles and hardships they faced. Underneath the fancy Hollywood smiles there are stories there of love, broken trust, struggle, disease, among other things. They really are just ordinary people, lucky enough to make a living doing what they love. Really though it has nothing to do with luck, not in their cases. It is pure flawless talent.
What else do I love about these two? Their on screen chemistry, dance skills, or physical comedy? Yes, but also how they give back, something I wish I could afford to do more, but when you think about it giving just a dollar to a charity can make a difference and I encourage you to do that now.
These videos made my day, they filled me with inspiration, and reminded me to never give up on a dream that means so much.
