Singing one of the most famous songs on Earth…!
The exquisite song Memory has been recorded by some 150 of the most famous artists from around the world. Now I get to have a crack at it eight times a week for 7 1/2 weeks, playing the tragic figure Grizabella at the heart of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS.
FEBRUARY 4, 2014 – Eileen Faxas has had several careers across the country, but one thing has always been there.
An audience.
My TV Network Debut came in the form of an anchor role on Fox’s hit show THE FOLLOWING… making it a full circle moment for the TV Reporter-turned-Actor-now-playing-TV Reporter. I had a brief Kevin Bacon sighting, which means I now win ALL games of 7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. And I met some lovely people…

She was handpicked by director Jason Reitman, who loved her authentic newscaster style when she auditioned for the role of a news anchor! This commercial (and film trailer) use Eileen’s voice!

Sexy-Time! OK, G-rated sexy time!

Now THIS was fun: Running around Rockefeller Plaza for the Tribeca Film Festival’s Drive-In Movie evening. This being New York City, no one actually DROVE in anything but their own feet, but the idea was symbolic and a car company WAS the sponsor. Watch for an appearance by former SNL cast member Rachel Dratch.
The last time I heard the word “Jazzercise”, I still played with Weeble Wobbles…. (Remember those?!?! I loved my Weeble Wobble Treehouse! But I digress….) Jazzercise apparently never went away, unlike the Weeble Wobbles, and to prove it, Jazzercisers from all over Florida converged on Dolphin Stadium to perform in a special halftime show. The…
My first Infomercial! The casting directors for this Infomercial didn’t want to see me for an audition (the culprit: my glamorous red hair!) But my spunky agent sent me anyway, and I booked the job! And what a job! I got paid to crack jokes and eat. Well, also to hit the major talking points. …
