Even though this site is
devoted to Marissa, I thought that you may want to know a little about me. If there's anything specific you would like
to know, please ask me!
You'll notice that I have removed the pictures--this is so I had enough space to put pictures of Keala on the other site
I am making. Check it out! Http://winokur_fan.tripod.com/kealasettle But that's ok, because the site wasn't meant for me anyway!
I have written a review from seeing Hairspray in L.A. so...click here to read it!
I'm Dannah. The Winokur-Fanatic! I think that Marissa is totally awesome,
obviously. If you would like to learn more about me, feel free to read on!
I recently started an Acting Troupe at school. Click here to read about it! Like it is said, you must be the change you wish to see in the world. Dreams are very important to
me. As is school. I have a great respect for teachers, and I think they are completely gypped on many aspects.
However, that's a whole other subject on it's own. I try to maintain a 4.0 at school, and am a big supporter of this
years school play, Shoestring Theatre. I participate in Forensics, and I have advanced to State Level...I scored a perfect
score of 25 which is a gold medal! I am totally ecstatic! My friends are the coolest people I know. They
all rock my chicken pox! That is about all there is to know about me. Oh, and you will be seeing my name in lights
on Broadway, so keep your eyes peeled! One more thing...click here to check out the coolest person in my life.

My Dreams:
People always say that if you can dream it you can do it...I
am a firm believer in this. I have met Marissa Jaret Winokur, and I was so sure I was absolutely going to die!!! She
just seems so sure of her self and what she wants. She doesn't exactly fit the Hollywood stereotype of 110 pounds, and 5'5''
tall w/ blonde hair (her hairs much better anyways!) and she doesn't let that stop her from making her dreams come true. One
of my favorite quotes of hers is: "If I lost 20 pounds, its entirely possible that Id suddenly feel a lot of pressure to lose
20 more. But instead, Im a total Diva, and I dont need to change." Marissa Jaret Winokur. Plus shes unquestionably adorable!
J
I also want to be involved in theatre. I am hoping to
work on Broadway some day. I want to be a choreographer. However, I want to be an English teacher first and foremost.
Rest assured, you will be seeing my name in lights some day.
Finally, I just want to be the best that I can as a person. I want to make people happy and know that
their smile is real and not just hiding the tears. Yay!
Well, you may wonder how I became
such a "Winokur-Fanatic". I have always loved the movie Hairspray. I had heard they made it into a musical,
but never got around to looking @ it on the internet. Then I heard about a new movie comming out on ABC Family. It
was called "Beautiful Girl". When I saw the previews I kept saying "Mom! Remind me to watch that!" Then when it
finally aired, I was awed by Marissa's acting! I had to see it again! This time I taped it. I swear that
I watched that movie a thousand times~ I had almost every line memorized! After that I went onto the Internet to look
up the lyrics to the songs "Beautiful Girl" and "fall reaching". In the process it clicked that Marissa was Tracy in
the Broadway Musical Hairspray. Well I started to listen to the demos of the music and just HAD to have the
CD. Once I got the CD I couldn't stop listening to it!!! My cousin, Catherine, and I even made up dances to ALL
of the songs. I know this sounds corney but Marissa's voice is like a magnet~ Every time I hear her sing I have to get
up and dance, or do something, I can't just turn it off.
I hope that one day I can meet Marissa...It
would be and absolute dream come true!

THE DRESS: Ok, you all may be wondering why I have a picture
of a dress on my site. Well, here's the story: We were at the mall the other day and we were looking at dresses
(for no reason). And I saw this dress and I screamed! It is the EXACT dress that Marissa wore in her movie, "Beautiful
Girl". The freaky thing is that there was only ONE of the dresses in the whole store and it was in my size!!! FREAKY!?!?!?
Still haven't worn it...I'm still trying to "fill it in"! I'm sure I'll find a use for it, right now it is just really
cool to show everyone!
