I am also a person who always wanted to work in entertainment.  IN fact at Western Maryland College, now called McDaniel COllege (the same college by the way that JEREMY GILBREATHE&#8217;s girlfriend went to).  I was the OPERATIONS MANAGER for the INSITUE of EDUCATIONAL MEdia.  It was a business plan created by the Head of the COmmunications Department at that time, RICK DILLMAN and he picked me to help him start it.  One of the professors got a grant to create a series of films on how to teach math, and so it began.  I also became the Grphics Art Manager as this chart shows.  Chambers was president of the school at the time.  His son Grant is a musician up in San Francisco now.  I used to hang out with him and some of his friends and play the congos.  <\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/wmc_iem0001.pdf\" height=\"750\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Wmc Iem0001\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/wmc_iem0001.pdf\" title=\"Wmc Iem0001\">Wmc Iem0001<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>From the start of my working on sets I was HONEST.  I told people I had a law degree, but I didnot want to practice. I wanted to figure out how to move into the entertainment field without being a traditional lawyer.  ANyways, I used to carry my Bar Card with me.  I am now RETIRED.  See these:<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/statebarcards0001.pdf\" height=\"750\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Statebarcards0001\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/statebarcards0001.pdf\" title=\"Statebarcards0001\">Statebarcards0001<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Oh yeah and I have been in the UNION for the past 3 years, though AFTRA was bad to me, and so was SAG, and so was SAG AFTRA.  I was also the ABA student Representative for CATHOLIC University when I was in law school.  Yes my email was Athena007- I had a thing for James Bond and the second character I ever played as an actress was &#8220;Athena&#8221; for a class project.  My first acting gig was playing one of Scrooges&#8217; workers in the musical &#8220;A Christmas Carol.&#8221;  I don&#8217;t think that makes a good email adress.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lauraanntull.com\/acting\/?attachment_id=960\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-960\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lauraanntull.com\/acting\/files\/2013\/04\/aba0001.jpg\" alt=\"aba0001\" width=\"898\" height=\"542\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lauraanntull.com\/acting\/files\/2013\/04\/aba0001.jpg 898w, https:\/\/lauraanntull.com\/acting\/files\/2013\/04\/aba0001-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/ABA_UNIONCARDS0001.pdf\" height=\"750\" width=\"100%\" title=\"ABA UNIONCARDS0001\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/ABA_UNIONCARDS0001.pdf\" title=\"ABA UNIONCARDS0001\">ABA UNIONCARDS0001<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>New York Law School requested I apply.  I got into NY, Cardoza, and waitlisted for Loyola Marymount.  Why did NY law school want me- I was known in the entertainment community in DC as a first amendment advocate and also an actress and a supporter of the ARTS. I worked for the Washington Area Lawyers for the arts as an Art Management INTERN and also was completeing a MASTERS in Performing Arts Management.  Do you realize my not being able to work on sets while others who ABUSED me still get to- effects my working in any aspect of entertainment-  ALL OF MY EDUCATION IS BASED on the INDUSTRY.  <\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/lawschooladmin0001.pdf\" height=\"750\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Lawschooladmin0001\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lauraanntull.com\/lawschooladmin0001.pdf\" title=\"Lawschooladmin0001\">Lawschooladmin0001<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>What PEOPLE NEED TO Realize though is I was never the type of person to want to fight, argue, take over, be on the HOUSE floor of the Senate.  I really did just want to express my first amendment rights.  Part of which means I get to fight to be an artist and actress MYSELF.  Plenty of MEN get a degree in law and end up working in entertainment.  Plenty of men get a law degree and NEVER practice traditional LAW.  And well cutting me off from the contacts I had, and ruining my rep on sets in the process- was no way to help me get a career in the industry.  It has almost destroyed any possibility of me having a way to even PAY MY RENT!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off I am NOT just a retired lawyer.
