In
addition to her solid resume in film and television, Nancy Van Iderstine
has won acclaim in Los Angeles for her many stage performances, most
recently for her work in "Misconceptions" at LCGRT.
She's a regular on the improv comedy scene, and she received
raves for her SRO one-woman show at the former HBO Workspace, “7 Years
I Could Have Spent In
Vermont
.”
A
multi-talented performer, Nancy has done hundreds of voice-over jobs,
and is currently making a foray into classical singing, bolstering that
three-octave range!
Member SAG/AFTRA/AEA.
In
addition to performing,
Nancy
is a published writer many times over, and has helped promote hundreds
of hit DVDs for various studios. You’ve heard her radio spots, bought
DVDs with inserts she’s prepared especially for you, and seen her ads
in Rolling Stone, Premiere, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood
Reporter, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, US Weekly,
Maxim, Wired, Star, Spin, Cosmo, GQ, Esquire, The Smithsonian,
Snowboarder, National Enquirer, TV Guide, FHM, Parents Magazine,
Parade,
Vibe, and various Christian publications, to name a few. (Wait
– that’s a few?)
Raised to
respect those on four legs as well as those on two, Nancy has developed
a wealth of knowledge about animal rescue and care.
BURT LANCAT-STER
You wouldn’t know it from his picture, but Burt’s story started out sad
– until the day the malnourished, exhausted, frightened, seven-month-old
homeless cat discovered one of Nancy’s feral cat feeding stations.
Smart youngster that he was, Burt quickly volunteered for a life off the
streets, and within days, he was neutered, inoculated, and welcomed as
the newest member of a loving, permanent household.
Many other
abandoned pets in Los Angeles aren’t so lucky. Entirely because of
human neglect, there are an estimated
4 million feral cats in L.A.
County alone, left to fend for themselves on harsh city streets or
frightening alleys, in abandoned buildings and cars – anywhere they can
survive – perpetuating a virtually endless breeding cycle under
treacherous conditions.
Having met her first feral face to
face in the alley behind a recording studio, Nancy decided to start
helping out. Eight years later, she has considerable experience with
the most humane, effective means to manage the otherwise burgeoning
homeless cat population problem – TNR – the safe and harmless trapping
of a homeless cat, having a qualified vet neuter and inoculate the
animal, and returning the cat to its feral colony, where he or she will
fed and cared for by a volunteer. Burt and dozens of others like him
are happy that Nancy has taken the time to be a part of this important,
rewarding cause.
