PROFILE ON: SHEILA RYAN-CRUZ
HOME BASE: Los Angeles, CA
POSITION: Key Assistant Location Manager
PAUL MESSANA: Let's start from the beginning. Tell me where you are
from.
SHEILA RYAN-CRUZ: I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but I am both
a U.S. and British National. Although I spent most of my life here in the
States, I do have a fondness for England as well. My parents are artists; my
dad is a musician, and my mom is a writer and poet. My parents always
exposed us to art and music as kids, so it was a big part of our lives.
