Some of the actors whose careers she has launched are Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Donald Faison, Britney Spears, Arianna Grande, Kristen Bell, Lea Michelle and Tempestt Bledsoe who played Vanessa on The Cosby Show. As an advocate for young performers she worked to achieve mandatory tutoring for children on tour and was in part responsible for the NY law requiring a blocked trust account to be established for minor performers so that 15% of their wages will be set aside until they reach age eighteen.
