Dianna Larocque as Maggie (1)
It's been my hearts desire to act since childhood but always thought it was what all little girls wanted to do when they "grew up". As an adult, after experiencing motherhood and many different career paths there was still a void. Inspired by a friend following her path into acting I joined her adult acting class. Aside from my class and being in the ensemble in my high school production of "Mame", "The Clear" is my first film and I have loved every minute of it. I've learned so much and have made lifelong friends. I will continue to pursue my hearts desire and look forward to whatever the future holds. -
