Right before I was born, my mom watched a movie with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. She decided that evening that if I was a girl, my name would be Charisse. I guess I just dated myself.
Since I grew up in Cincinnati during the time of the Big Red Machine, I’ll always be a Reds fan, and a Bengals fan, too.
When I was a teenager, I was fortunate enough to be invited to study with the Chicago Ballet Company. It was an amazing experience.
I’ve traveled to almost every state in the union (43 at last count) and several countries. There’s a lot to see out there!
I’ve been married to my husband, Vince, for 35 years and have two incredibly smart and beautiful grown daughters and one amazing son-in-law. I’m very blessed and very lucky.
