(October & November 1999) Got rave reviews playing the title character in "Anastasia Krupnik", at Garry Marshall's Falcon Theatre, in Burbank, California; written by Lois Lowry; adapted and directed by Meryl Friedman.
On March 9, 1996, she met Rosa Parks while filming an independent film
with Sean McNamara and David Brookwell in Santa Clarita, California. Ms. Parks came
to the set to meet the cast and crew, and little 7 year old Brenda, who
had no idea who she was, just had fun talking with this sweet old lady
that everyone else seemed to be so impressed with for some reason. It
wasn't until years later that she learned the magnitude of that
friendly encounter.
