teaching is something I’ve always been interested in ... but if not, I hope in next five years I move up into a scripted/digital executive here in New York and successfully launch a handful of scripted shows.”
’04 ELIZABETH “BETTY” GILPIN Fordham, 2008, Theater Lives in Brooklyn, New York “As an actress I go from being insanely busy working to in-my-pajamas on Facebook, which I am currently. But I most recently worked at Manhattan Theatre Club and on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and next week I am shooting a movie in Queens. But after that I’ll be eating cereal for lunch at home again, panicking about being unemployed.” Other interests: Loves going to the theater. “New York has so many amazing plays and musicals going on right now, and you don’t have to be a theater geek (like me) to enjoy them. The show Once on Broadway right now is my absolute favorite.” Highlights from the past few years: “I have driven across the country four times with my boyfriend and dog. I’ve now been to most of the national parks, my favorite being Glacier National Park in northern Montana. We camped there for a couple of days. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Although, I didn’t realize how unbelievably beautiful Loomis truly is until I went back for my reunion. … We were all screaming in shock at how
beautiful the Meadows are. It’s like ‘Lacrosse Lord of the Rings.’ ” Future plans: “Good lord, that’s a big question. Life as an actress is very unpredictable — in the same day I audition to play a divorce lawyer who fights crime and then a crack-addicted 16-year-old with magical powers. So, it’s hard to set goals or make predictions. I guess I want to be active all the time and working as much as I can — fewer screens and more books, less couch [and] more sunlight. ... Go Pelicans! And Go NEO!”
