Just found this group and felt obliged to offer my anecdote ...
Figured you all would enjoy it.

I sat next to Lara on a plane flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Los
Angeles this past Sunday. She was super friendly, funny, interesting
and had much interesting to say about her myriad interests and
passions. The woman is a true polymath. From multi-talented child
performer to mid-town Manhattan lawyer by night/actor by day to
marathon-runner and gymnast to Allentown, PA historian to adult actor
in a post-lawyer world. She was a fascinating and funny travel
partner -- with a bounty of witty quips about the in-flight movie
(Star Trek Nemesis). She's still with her boyfriend -- now of eight
years. Lives in a Melrose Place-style apartment complex in Studio
City and loves her cat. Oh, and she looked great. And to think I was
slated to sit next to the 300 lb. Samoan ...

Best,
