Laura Ann Tull dressed in 1800s pajamas playing a Gem Whore on Deadwood.<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u00a0thought about giving a day to day of my life on sets and I probably will write a more detailed blog about how I got started, that first moment I took the plunge, but instead I have decided to make a run down of the first 5 months.<\/p>\n

When I think of all the stories I have heard and the different ways people have begun working on sets and acting, I find allot of false tales.\u00a0 Doing what I did for those months back in 2003 I am not ashamed of, and frankly I was good and appreciated.<\/p>\n
