With the making of the movie, Did You Hear About the Morgans?, a scene for the National Breast Cancer Foundation was written into the script by Director Marc Lawrence. When I asked him why he chose NBCF to be in the movie, he said he wanted to do some good and help a real charity.

We were additionally invited to be in the scene as extras. Our son, Kevin Hail-COO and his wife, Amanda, as well as my husband, Neal, and I headed for NYC for the filming of the movie. My immediate thoughts: What am I going to wear? This was my first experience at movie stardom. Could that be my one second of fame?

From a recent foot surgery, I was more concerned about how I was going to get from tennis shoes to high heels in time for the movie making. My Dallas surgeon, Dr. Sandra Gold, reassured me she could get me into the heels. Sure enough, my first weekend to spring into my fashionable shoes came as we flew into NYC.
