About Her First Acting Role:
" ... in 1978, Brynn auditioned for the role of Jenny. With encouragement from 'One Life' director Peter Miner, who taught one of her acting classes, she won the part. Initially she was so stiff on camera that her first letter from a viewer urged her to 'Please go back to the convent.' 'I wasn't making the character my own,' Brynn explains. 'I was more concerned about learning my lines and getting to work on time.' But with help from friends like co-star Judith Light, she improved quickly. Says Light, who shares a dressing room with Brynn, 'She was scared, and nobody really knew that till later. Though Brynn didn't have experience, her instincts were all there. She has a tendency to be extremely modest about her abilities.' " From People Magazine, September 6, 1982.
