Trivia

Felissa was asked to reprise her role Angela in Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers and Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland but turned them down because she enrolled to be in the Tisch School of the Arts at the New York University and asked NYU if she could put off her early decision acceptance for a year but they said she'd have to re apply and there was no guarantee of her getting in again.

She went to acting school with Adam Sandler and became friends for a while and did a short comedy on MTV together called The Party Phone Series.

Returned to screen acting during the millenium by starring in a short independent horror-thriller that was under 15 minutes long called "Birds of a Feather" with cult actor Christopher Cooke who was well remembered for his roles in Simple Men and The Unbelievable Truth. Then she got other roles in independent feature films.

Has performed in numerous off-Broadway productions that were directed by her ex-husband including the world premiere of "Phone Sex".

Her first professional stage show was a musical review called "Youngstars" with celebrities like Irene Cara, Sarah Jessica Parker and Scott Grimes.
