Suzenne-Marie Seradwyn (ex-Laken Lockridge) is asking for global support from all Santa Barbara fans to fund a gifted artist, Marit Rawley, in achieving her dream. This is her story :
We would like to take a moment of your time to introduce you to autistic filmmaker, Marit Rawley, who has recently launched a Kickstarter campaign at : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/756231211/the-white-world.
Marit plans to use funds raised through this campaign to produce her third and most ambitious project, The White World.
Marit is the protégé of master documentarian, filmmaker and multiple Emmy winner, Dale Sonnenberg. Dale had been seeking an apprentice for years. He felt compelled to share his gift of knowledge and passion for filmmaking with someone who understood that passion. Someone with Autism.
Enter Marit Rawley, a young woman who knows a thing or two about the challenges of growing up with Autism. She also has a passion for movies. Through a mutual friend, Polly Arango, Dale and Marit meet. They agree to a common goal : make ten films together, no matter how long it takes.
After five years of meeting with Dale every Tuesday at 1:00 pm, Marit has completed two short films and is currently editing a "self" documentary.
We are seeking Kickstarter support to bring Marit's vision to the screen. Kickstarter is crowd-funding platform for creative projects.
We need your support to make our Kickstarter funding campaign a success as the premise is to meet your specified goal or you get nothing.
You can learn more about Marit and The White World by visiting Kickstarter and check out our blog at : www.thewhiteworld.wordpress.com

It is yesterday that we learned with sadness the death last Saturday of Chip Mayer, aka T.J. Daniels in Santa Barbara, at the age of 57. This is his fiancée, actress Catherine Irvine, who announced the news to the media. The couple was to be married next month.
Of real name George Charles Mayer III, he had played in many television series, including Glitter, The Dukes of Hazzard, where he played the cousin Vance Duke between 1982 and 1983. After Santa Barbara from 1987 to 1989, the actor continued his career in some TV shows, theater and TV movies without knowing any important role anymore.
Absent from the screens since 2000, Christopher Mayer is survived by three daughters : Ashley, born from his first marriage with actress Teri Copley in 1982, and Alexandra and Angelica, born from his third marriage with actress Shauna Sullivan (he had been married between them to Eileen Davidson, ex-Kelly Capwell, between 1985 and 1987).
The Santa Barbara fans will undoubtedly miss him.
