Dee Wallace Appears at Santa Monica Library 7/26

By:

Dee Wallace signs copies of BRIGHT LIGHT: SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM A LIFE IN ACTING at The Santa Monica Library

Dee is a true tour de force, working with every kind of co-star from Cujo to Lassie, as well as countless directors, producers and some of Hollywood's biggest names, who personalities fell somewhere between the two, including Peter Jackson, Wes Craven, Joe Dante, Stephen King and Blake Edwards. Ms. Wallace became an icon in the role that would define motherhood for a generation, as Mary in Stephen Speilberg's ET: The Extraterrestrial. Her 130 films range from some of the scariest to some of the funniest ever made. She has starred in four television series and more than 400 commercials and is one of Hollywood's most sought-after TV guest stars. A beloved acting coach, she is also an internationally known healer, with two global radio shows and a series of healing seminars.

WHERE: Santa Monica Library - 601 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica CA

WHEN: Tuesday, July 26th at 7:00 to 9:00pm - For more info call - (310) 458-8600

EDITORS: Wallace Inspires Readers to Turn Up Their Heart-Centered Bright Light to Live a Brilliant Life. Bright Light (O-Books/$16.95) takes readers along on Wallace's emotional, spiritual and professional journey but even as we cheer for her triumphs and grieve for her unbearable losses, she doesn't allow us to sit on the sidelines as merely an audience to her life. Rather she uses her journey as a metaphor for always expanding the lessons she experienced in her own life to a larger wisdom valuable for all of us.

Her gifted writing is inclusive, reaching out to connect with readers as with unflinching honesty she takes responsibility for the manifestation of pain and disappointments in her life, as well as the creation of love and happiness for its joys and successes. And she beckons her readers, who almost imperceptibly recognize their own journey, to learn from the spiritual lessons, which are the focus of each chapter.
