Comment: Hi again..The WCOPA has Hollywood producers, directors, actors, singers etc judging & attending the
finals. So I was just lucky to get thru & all that stuff & it was luck that they liked me and gave me opportunitues. There
was no way I could do it without moving to CA..(kinda a long daily commute hee hee) so thatwas what that e about
me moving was talking about....I think, anyway. Hope to see u soon, lotsa-luv Amanda

Comment: Hi Jessie, 1st thx 4 being such a supportive person in my life. really thx. Eloise - lemme see. We did a pilot
for the new season, but didn't get to finish it, coz I wanted 2 do Annie.I Also ws s'posed to make changes (not just my
hair)I was kinda like way too skinny in those days. EvenMy uncle made jokes & said to get wet in the shower I would
have to run around the shower - haha).Well "Eloise" isn't boney..so that was kind of a problem. Plus I wanted to do
theater badly.It Was very fun,

Comment: To "A Friend". You sound like a good friend to McCall Its admirable for you to stick up 4 a friend. We need
more people to stand up for each other in this world. But please don't worry about any unapproved info. going out
from us. Even tho it can be frustrating, its human nature for people to be curious about those "in the spotlight". I
don't think Meghan meant any harm. Ama. & w McCall r friends 2. Mc.is a beautiful kind person & phenomenal
actress. Thats all anyone needs 2 know. Thx 4

Comment: Hi Meghan, Thanks for your kind words about A. This is Amandas guestbook and we appreciate your
questions about her.I 'm a big believer in going to the source for info. Ror same reason we do not feel it our place to
give out personal info about anyone else. (without their consent). Your note did say you were fine with that. Thanks
4 understanding.
A. cut her hair to play "Eloise " in Hollywood, but it worked for Gypsy too. It is growing quickly. Will wait 2 see what
"Annie " wants to have done

Comment: It is completely inappropriate of you to fish for private information about McCall. This was a difficult
enough situation as is and why she left is absolutely none of your business. She's just a little girl and deserves some
degree of privacy.

Comment: Orange County Performing Arts Center in California. I'll certainly be at the stagedoor, because i know that
personally one of my favorite thing is being greeted by fans. if you make it to newport beach while you are there,
wich is aout 10 minutes from the theater, maybe ill see you guys, because my house is right on the beach about 6
blocks from the pier. wouldn't that be fun? well anyways, this post is getting VERY long, so ill be saying goodbye!

Comment: were both in that show before you moved on to Annie. also i wondering why McCall left the tour so quickly
after joining it? maybe it is personal and you cant tell over the internet. or maybe you can email me. im very glad that
you are returning to the tour next year with marissa, and i just wish that more of you girls were coming back. well,
from a fellow performer, i just wanted to tell you that i think you are great! i'll be seeing you when the tour comes to

Comment: hi amanda!
you are really an incredible Molly and i have no doubt you will wow audiences as duffy as well. i have some questions
for you though. i remember someone mentioning that you ussually wear your hair much longer, but that you cut it all
off just beforebeing cast in annie in preparation for another roll. what was that roll? was it possibly baby june in
gypsy at the starlight dinner theater? if it was, how interesting that both you AND jocelyn were both in (continued in

Comment: Oh, that makes me so sad about your parents. Really they should come. They will like the new Molly, I just
know it. She is so cute and she played Gretel in S.O.M like I did and Mr Charnin really casts well. I am getting too tall
for that role now, but please tell them that the new Molly is great and so is the play so they should come. And I will
still be there in the role of Duffy
