Geraldine Page

I always wanted to be good at something, to be somebody. The minute I got into my first play, which was called ''Excuse My Dust' - I was 17 at the time - I knew that this was what I'd been looking for.

The importance of heart health became very real for me when my father died of heart disease seven years ago. Having experienced the loss first hand, I am inspired to do everything I can to break the cycle and prevent families from losing loved ones to this preventable disease.

I haven't modelled since I was 12 - that was a one-time thing, and I did it as a kid to make a little money to save up for university. Acting is my first love as well as writing and eventually producing and directing.
