Author Information

A professional actress for 38 years, Judy has showcased her skills and talents in hundreds of commercials and film and television roles as well as transformed countless actors' careers with her two schools. Judy co-founded Talent To Go, a training company that won The Best Casting Director Workshop in LA award in 2009 and 2010. She continued her teaching legacy and success when she opened Keep It Real Acting in 2012, an award-winning full-service acting studio that offers commercial and theatrical classes for all levels of students. She was voted Backstage West's Favorite On-Camera Commercial Teacher in LA in 2010, 2011, and 2012 and again in 2015. Several of her classes have also won Backstage West's Favorite in LA awards, and the school continues to produce amazing results for her students. Judy's hundreds of well-known credits include a SAG-award-winning recurring role on the Emmy-winning show Mad Men as Olive Healey (Peggy's secretary). Other favorite recurring credits include Odd Couple with Matthew Perry, Hand of God with Ron Pearlman, Married with Children, For Your Love, Grosse Pointe, and Manhattan, AZ with Chad Everett. Judy has done numerous guest appearances on the hit shows Modern Family, The Middle, Bones, Castle, Rizzoli & Isles, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, ER, Seinfeld, The District, The West Wing, NYPD Blue, Friends, and The Drew Carey Show among others. Her more than 375 commercial credits include several career highlights. Her role as judge in the famous Clairol Herbal Essence ad with Dr. Ruth was famously (and hilariously) spoofed on Saturday Night Live. She appeared in two acclaimed Super Bowl ads in 2013, Oreo's Whisper Fight ad and Deon Sanders' NFL promo. The proud mother of one son, Frankie Manes, Judy resides in Los Angeles.
