Vanessa Marcil Instagram – In answer to all of your questions regarding “female competition?” This is my best friend of 20 years. @kymberly_marciano She’s a model, accomplished business woman, gifted photographer, magazine owner, philanthropist & mother of three. Bottom line is that she is one, beautiful, fancy, talented, successful, badass bitch with a heart of gold. How did we meet? WORKING TOGETHER. I’ve worked on MANY sets from 300 million dollar movies to 30 seat playhouses with zero budget. I’ve worked at #McDonalds & I’ve been on prime time shows for years with LEGIT supermodels as co stars. Hell, I’m still best friends with my smart, tall, gorgeous high school girlfriends. 😝SO…@kymberly_marciano and I worked on set together 20 YEARS AGO….A short Mexican girl from a bad neighborhood & a tall blonde from Laguna Beach, yet SHE was the one in the hospital room with me when my son was born….. I’m still friends with almost every woman I’ve ever worked with from producers to crew members. Women are the heart of our planet…. Not all women have been living in a competitive world. I’m only speaking of my own experience and it is our job as decent human beings to LISTEN to each other. I love women. I was raised in this industry working for women producers, directors and with female co stars & crew of all ages & every level of success who created an atmosphere of support, help & celebration of each other. I have, 99 percent of the time felt love, admiration & community among women. The very few times I haven’t felt this support & professionalism among other women. I LEFT. We are who we surround ourselves with and we always have the choice to leave the party. Always. I stand with all honest, grown up, self reflective women. We all make mistakes but it is only those of us who can be honest about our shortcomings and apologize that are offered peace and grace in this life. Search your heart for the truth and reach out to women who don’t look like you, especially if you are raising children. They are watching us & they will copy us. Join us in this powerful tribe. There is room for all of us and it is NEVER TOO LATE. #imwithyousister #ladolcevita
