I came across a story online about how Marion Ross, at the age of 13, changed the spelling of her name from Marian to Marion because it would look better up in lights. She seemed to be the perfect image for the city because she had the soul of integrity and traditional values. |
There were budget concerns, of course. |
We spoke with her agent, explained what we envisioned for the role and waited to find out if she might be interested. Her agent came back with an offer. I don't remember exactly what it was now, but I know our budget couldn't afford it. He asked what we could offer, and we made our offer. |
What a tremendous ambassador she is for the community. I can't think of a better one. |
