I’m Mary Burt-Godwin and I’ll be your host. Yes, I know, it’s totally 80s to hyphenate my last name but my father passed away two months after my wedding so when I went to the Social Security office I simply couldn’t get rid of the Burt. Now it is who I am, albeit annoying when I go to check in at an event and I don’t know whether I should get in the A-E line or the F-L line. I invariably choose the wrong one first.
Before you read-on, check out this video to get to know the real me:
Now that you know I have no shame to my game, here is my bio, Cliff Notes style. I was born and raised in San Diego, went to UCSB undergrad with a degree in Sociology (translation: didn’t know what I wanted to do so picked the major that I had the most credits towards in order to graduate in four years).
My jobs have included Extras Casting Coordinator at Stu Segall Productions where I went to strip bars to hold casting sessions (you have seen Silk Stalkings haven’t you?), Actor & Stage Manager for local theatre & independent films, Entertainment Supervisor at LEGOLAND California, and most recently, Corporate Event Planner. In 1995 I met the man of my dreams at Stu Segall Productions, Steve, and together we have made our G-Unit with 2 little darlings, Lily and Lexi.
Now I work from home as a mom-in-training, a freelance writer, a casting director, and/or an event planner, depending on what time of the day it is.
Random things to know:
- I heart Justin Timberlake, all things pop culture, chai tea lattes and The Chargers.
- I was a contestant on Don’t Forget the Lyrics.
- Slow draining drains and unicorns give me the heebie jeebies.
- Matching socks after laundry and sorting Tupperware are the banes of my existence.
- I laugh and cry and sing a lot.
- I have a gold tooth.
- If you hang out with me long enough you will most certainly hear me say either, “Oh, I love this song,” or, “Oh my god, I have to go pee.” Or both.
