This launching pad has helped her balance her costuming skills on and off the set for the last 20 years. From London to NYC to New Orleans, she has worked with and learned from some of the greats, including Anne Hathaway, Sharon Stone, Gerard Butler, Jennifer Anniston, Jessie Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Kevin Costner, and Woody Harrelson.
