And the Oscar goes to . . . Becky Fly
With all the paparazzi and Academy Awards hype, I’m reminded of my friend, Becky who is an actress and drama teacher. In her last feature film, she played a housewife who bought Fuller Brush products from a struggling Billy Graham in Billy: The Early Years. It was a hoot!
She’s a vital part of our community and an arts advocate. She loves teaching and has established her drama classes to be among the best in the South. Becky always has time for those who need encouragement, a mentor, or someone to believe in them.
Becky Fly has won the respect and admiration of everyone who has ever seen her take the stage. If not on stage, she is probably dedicating hours to a production as the director or costumer. When the late Gene Evans needed help to direct him and Stella Stevens in “Love Letters,” it was Becky Fly that he called on.
When Hollywood calls, Becky Fly makes arrangements for her kitty cats and off she goes for a film, commercial, music video or an audition. You’d never know that she has already made a big mark in the entertainment world and is merely one role away from stardom. She had much rather brag on one of ‘her kids’ who is on Broadway, walking the runways of Paris, or pursuing a graduate degree.
Becky Fly changes the lives of her students and prepares them for what lies beyond the classroom. More times than I can count, I’ve heard, “Oh I don’t know what I’d do without Ms Fly.” She has chauffeured kids to play practice, raised dollars for costumes or trip money for kids who would otherwise be left out, and she has done it all with style.
She is one role away from hearing “And the Oscar goes to Becky Fly,” and she truly deserves a big star on her dressing room door.
