American actress Lana Lourdes will sign copies of her autobiography, “Life of an Actress”, from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday at Wilkinson Library, NYC. The memoir portrays her upbringing and prolific film career, from being cast at her first on stage role, to staring alongside some of the biggest actors of today’s world.
Working on “Bills” was a unique experience that opened many doors to the than emerging actress. Many people are curious how this epic TV series was conceived in the first place, and how it was actually created.
Lourdes was born in Detroit and lived there in her teen years. In addition to “Bills,” Lana has appeared in many other successful television shows, including “Duke Patsy,” “The Small Hill,” “Narrow Bridges” and many more.
Writing “Life of an Actress” was a long and demanding process, penned at the request of her fans who wanted an inside look at what it was like to come to New York City from a small Detroit suburb, and make it in the film industry. Her beginnings weren’t easy, and within the book she proudly explains her struggle, going to bed hungry, just so she can buy a train ticket and make it to the next audition. Lana Lourdes started writing about her life and as she got more into the book, it started to further evolve and develop, becoming very inspiring.
Once she started talking about the power of perseverance and moving forward no matter what happens, there were so many things that needed to be said, and the pages kind of wrote themselves. The obstacles and crisis that Lana was able to get through inspired so many twitter followers.
Wilkinson Library in New York is simply one of the many locations planned for Lana’s extensive book tour. For actress Lourdes, the book tour appearances are only a platform that will allow her to interact with fans and people interested in her story, maybe even some that are featured in the book.
Copies of “Life of an Actress” will be available at all of the signings. Lana Lourdes is also planning to read excerpts from the publication and answer questions from the audience.
