Personal Quote:

Growing up, I was always doing theater. But for a short time I almost convinced myself I wanted to be a journalist...right after I saw Holly Hunter in "Broadcast News". Then I considered the FBI...right after I saw Jodi Foster in "Silence of the Lambs". When I finally told Mom I wanted to pursue acting as a career she didn't bat an eyelash... See more »

Trivia:

Played a junkie prostitute in "Exercises in Depravity", opposite R.H. Thomson, staged in the bathroom of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. Only 12 audience members were allowed per night. One night, during Dwyer's monologue when her character burns out her own eyes, an audience member fainted and had to be carried out. Other audience members assumed it was part of the show.
