Isabell (Ginger) Pollini Springer:  

Hey Gang. Who's out there after 35 years? OMG. This should be fun. Most of you remember me as Ginger Pollini. I have been going by my middle name "Isabell" since graduation. Man, things are going great. Life has been amazing. If you want to catch up or contemplate another reunion-type gathering I will "help" host something next year 2010. My "story after Eastside" ... 1979-1985 I started out at SFC and transferred to University of Florida. I had a great time at SFC and was one of there first cheerleaders for the college. SFC was a great experience as I began to gain focus and build a sense of hope about the future. I was in a couple plays at the Hippodrome and developed a love for acting (what a surprise:-) I transferred to UF Theater Arts Program and received a bachelors degree. After 3 great years of selling cokes at Gator Games and producing Gator Growls I was off to the big time! NYC here I come! 1985-1987 NYC...WOW! It was so adventuresome and exciting...can be a lil scary too, which is just a part of watching out for yourself. I arrived in NYC and dropped a photo in the mail. I was runner-up in an Eileen Ford Face-of-the 80's contest, so that was exciting only being in the city for a few months! I started taking acting classes in the village and waiting tables at night.

He was really sweet and we talked on the phone a few times but when I found out the rascal had a steady girlfriend, I decline a date. lol I was tired of spending what little money I was making on cabs; the lack of freedom and then Hollywood here I come! 1987-2003 Los Angeles was very exciting; it was the 80's! I began living in Malibu and waiting tables at a seafood restaurant with the most beautiful view of the waves crashing. My sister Laura was in L.A. as well and we had a good time exploring life. We soon moved to Venice beach and worked at a hot Dance Club downtown. Training and leading the life of an actress, I booked commercials, infomercials, guest-starred on TV series and had reoccurring roles on a soaps, played small parts in big movies and rubbed elbows with many wonderful people. I worked at many of the Grammy Awards as I was a personal assistant to the stars: Meryl Streep, Paul McCartney, Michael Bolton, etc... Instead of waitress I began to produce a weekly Dance Club with guests: Motley Crew, Peter Frampton, Rod Stewart, Guns-N-Roses, Poison (I lived across the street from Axel, see PHOTOS in 80's ALBUM BELOW). I produced live concerts as fundraisers for Teen Runaway Shelters. Life was big hair, Madonna (who I met 3 times, LOVE her!) and riding Harleys with Billy Idol and...Expand for more
