Beyond film
Easterbrook was a skilled vocalist. She sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl XVII, and that performance led to leading parts in musicals on Broadway and across the country.
Big break
Easterbrook scared the producer and the director at her audition, and when they backed up in their chairs she thought she had really blown it, so she left the audition upset.
Beyond film
In Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, Easterbrook sang the standard "Am I Blue?" while perched atop a piano, a parody of Michelle Pfeiffer's scene in The Fabulous Baker Boys.
Behind the camera
For her first shooting experience, Easterbrook designed a series of videos. The first, Real Beginner's Guide to the Shotgun Sports, was meant to "encourage and prepare non-shooters."
