April 2010:

As I was flying down to Texas last week for the world premiere of my new movie WALKING DISTANCE at the Dallas International Film Festival I felt an overwhelming sensation of gratitude; to my supportive family, loving friends but especially to my incredible fans.

Here I was returning to “on-camera” & the "BIG" screen some 29 years later after a two decade career in voice-overs & looping! A film “comeback” at this stage of the game? Seriously, I ask you, who else gets to do that?

My life is & has been filled with joy & passion... okay, so there were a couple of years of “nasty stuff” in there but I survived just like my sweet Alice in Friday the 13th! And, I think that's why I bond with so many of my fans (who usually become fast friends) so much... I mean, aren't we all survivors in one way or another?

So this is really a thank-you letter to all my fabulous fans around the world. You have had such an incredible amount of influence over my acting career in so many ways. Insisting on my return… I thank you for resurrecting “Adrienne King”, the actress, from the dead. I am officially the "grateful undead" now; as I discovered playing Louise Strack, my unique & complex character in WALKING DISTANCE. It really got the blood pumping again; playing in the trenches with such giving & talented actors, surrounded by truly gifted & passionate filmmakers.

I still love to act in front of the camera! Who knew? I wouldn't have... if it hadn't been for so many of all you. A couple of necessary shout-outs:
Mel House, the "genius"; the real thing; a visionary in so many ways: you’ll be hearing & seeing lots more from this remarkable Writer/Director/Producer. Such an original & awesome script as well as the full-on "independent" experience! This movie totally rocks & kills… simultaneously! James LaMarr, Producer extraordinaire, so very talented & an extremely supportive magician! Phil Roy, phenom-DP, Marcus Koch, Shelb, Kat; wicked special effects & Ted Geoghegan (Writer/Producer) who introduced me to Mel & James & my first "on-camera" movie role since Friday the 13th Part 2!

As sweet & surreal a Texas evening as one could ever hope to enjoy…walking the distance on the red carpet at DIFF… flashbulbs were a’poppin'… we were all giving interviews left & right… feeling so blessed in all ways possible & to be sharing something so cool with so many of my wonderful WALKING DISTANCE family…. I stood back, took a deep breath in and savored it all….
Strack is back & you better watch out!
You've been warned!!!

With gratitude,
Adrienne
