Laura and Bruce were married in Italy on September 23, 2006
I just added two of their wedding pics in the Photo Gallery.

*****

Laura booked a pilot for the FX Network called "Dirt".
It is produced by Courteney Cox and David Arquette. Courteney
also is the lead role of "Lucy Spiller", who is an editor of a tabloid magazine
and Laura plays "Julia Mallory", a Hollywood starlette that "Lucy" tries to get "dirt" on.
Laura says it is a very fun script, a little racy and edgy, and a good direction for her career.
Shooting was completed in LA in March. The show was picked up by FX, and shooting
began in early September 2006.

Tuesday, January 2, 2007 is the scheduled premiere date.

FX Cable's newest original series: "Dirt"

Laura's Engaged!

Meet Laura's fiancé. They got engaged in Thailand on Christmas Eve 2004, just
a few hours before the tsunami hit. His name is Robert Bruce Weyman
(he goes by Bruce), he is 34, he grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and he
is an avid cyclist. He races for a New York based team called Sakonnet,
and also models fashion and dabbles in acting too. They have not set a date
yet, but they are fairly certain the wedding will be very intimate and
"homemade". (Laura's mom wants to bake the cake, and Bruce's mom wants
to arrange the bouquet.) Congratulations Laura & Bruce!!
