SUSAN'S
SCRAPBOOK FOR 2000 |

| SUSAN
GUEST STARS ON DREW CAREY |
 |
Susan
guest starred on the Christmas episode of The Drew Carey Show
playing a single, pregnant co-worker of Drew's, with her sights firmly
set on him as the father.
Susan is
pictured top left with Kathy Kinney, bottom left lounging on the
livingroom set, and at right showing off her "bundle of joy." |

THE JOHN
SALLEY SHOW ON THE BET NETWORK - Nov 20, 2000 |
 |
Susan was a guest on a BET
talk show hosted by former NBA star, John Salley. In the picture at
left, you'll notice that Susan's standing on the couch... John is
6'11" tall.
Susan had to rush over from
the set of XCU to do this interview, with no time to change out of her wig
for the movie -- thus the redhead look she is sporting in this photo. Imagine the conversation when John got a gander at Susan in
her non-wigged, jet-black hair when he rolled the clip from Nikki. |

| NIKKI
- SEASON ONE BEGINS PRODUCTION - JUNE 2000 |
 |
Susan began production on
the new WB sitcom, NIKKI, and was thrilled to hear that the
network had picked up the show for a full first season. And FULL
it was. Susan played Mary Campbell -- a Vegas showgirl bitter to
be beyond her Vegas dancer prime. This queen of one-liners, the
sarcastic and witty character of Mary, was great fun for Susan to
create, and found her portraying quite a few interesting and irreverent
characters in the unique and outrageous production numbers that opened
each episode. You can check out some of the costumes Susan wore in
these numbers by visiting the Many
Moods of Mary.
Season one of NIKKI premiered in October of 2000 |

critical acclaim for her year-long portrayal of the downwardly-mobile
Sally Bowles.

15, 2000 |
|
Susan wrote the liner
notes for the exceptional debut solo release from singer and friend Lisa
Richard, Born To Entertain. |
 |
Excerpts
from Susan's liner notes:
"What
I love to hear is the daring woman - sure and in command - standing out
front with the big band boys in back! Or the woman alone, singing
soulfully with little accompaniment - totally exposed. That is
hot. That is talent. And that is Lisa."
"You
can hear Lisa - the real Lisa - in her phrasing (Never
Enough), in her
tenderness (I Will Be Loved), in her humorous self-deprecation
(You Can
Always Count On Me) and in her vocal power (Big
Time)." |
