Miriam's Story

still writing and acting. have a book out, Mirrors Within Mirrors available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. working on 2 more plus scripts and a monthly newsletter for tbe Tampa Bay Film Society. wonder how many of us are still alive? Great news! "We Three Witches," the short movie I wrote and produced last summer with my writing partner has been accepted in the Gasparilla Film Festival to be held in late March in Tampa! That means we will have a lanyard and card saying we are filmmakers which lets us go to any film in the festival free and attend all the parties. This is the second of our films that made it into a festival. "Murder! It's For The Birds! was nominated Best Comedy at a Sarasota festival. See, ya'll, it's never too late!! Right? Just went to a premiere of an Indie short movie I had a major part in and everyone, including my acting coach has been insisting I should get a new headshot and get back in the game! So I have. We will see. Mostly been writing newsletters and short films. The newest one "We Three Witches" is a comedy and almost out of post production. Didn't act in that one, just wrote and produced it with my writing partner. I do miss California, though. Everyone in my family lives either in California or Las Vegas except my youngest son David and me. But then, I have a lot of friends here in Florida, and as the locals say, "I got sand in my shoes," which means, so they also say, that you can never leave. Ha ha. Life My Spouse I'm widowed again. My husband Dale died last year.. My first, Frank, died at 40 and my second, Ed was on a boat that disappeared at sea in 1982. I still live in Florida, have now written and produced 9 short films, including one that was nominated for "Best Short Comedy". Have a very funny sitcom pilot, Almost Legit my writing partner and I are shopping around, but it's pretty hard to do, not being in L.A. Professionals here who have read it say it's very commercial. Ah life! Life is still full of surprises, so we will see. My professional name remains Miriam Goodspeed, otherwise I could conceivably sign myself Miriam McAnern Goodspeed Berkelhammer Johnson, whew! Way too long for a byline. My Kids I love them both, very much. Bob lives in Las Vegas. He has two daughters, Amber, who is married to Michael Dozier and who has a daughter Aaliyah, and Robyn, who is married to Lance Saplan and who has a daughter Chloe.. David lives in St. Petersburg, FL, is married to D...Expand for more
iane and has four step children and a grandson Alex whom he adores.. My Schools. Some of my Anaconda schoolmates won't remember me. We moved when I was in the 8th grade while attending Anaconda Jr. High. Our years of living in Anaconda were ones my sister Virginia, brothers David, Richard George and I have remembered and cherished. We have happy memories of that time and place. When we moved to San Bernardino, I attended Sturgest and Highland Jr. Highs, San Bernardino High and Valley College and half adozen more colleges around the country as we moved.. I have lots of good memories about "San Berdoo". My 6th short movie with my writing partnee, "Murder! It's For The Birds!," a comedy mystery, is the one that was nominated for Best Short Comedy. It was shott a seabird sanctuary on the Gulf Coast. Very hot, very humid! We hope to get it into some film festivals when it's finished. "Almost Legit", formerly called, "Totally You" about two beautiful madams broads who owned an escort service, get tired of the and decide to go legit (well, almost)t by opening a health spa that has a whole bunch of crazy employees and lots of funny situations.. I also write a montjly newsletter, "Above The Line" for the Florida Film Network which goes out to over 3000 filmmakers about what's going on in our part of the world. My non fiction book, Mirrors Within Mirrors about a German past life therapist, Ingrid Vallieres is to be published (in English) by her German publisher and we plan to put it on E Book when it is. I was a writer and an actor in high school and college and Ihave pursued those interests most of my life. I've been a reporter, an editor, a freelance writeand a scriptwriterr and won numerous awards for my writing skills. As an actor, my biggest film to date was "Edward Scissorhands," in which I received screen credit as one of the neighbors. I also have a line in the barbecue scene "Hi there, how are you?" that I was delighted to discover was uncut from the final cut. I appeared in about 8 other movies, but don't look for me! I was "in the crowd." I also starred in a Divorce Court segment, "Markoe vs. Markoe." (And I bet you thought Divorce Court was for real? HAH!) I won a Crystal Reel as "Best Actress" for my acting in a commercial, which was nice. Hey, my body may be getting older, but I'm not!!! Remember, Life is a feast and all the poor suckers are on a diet!!" (to mangle an Auntie Mame saying) Here's to Life! Cheers. Miriam
