Melissa often quotes television pioneer, Milton Berle. “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” 


She says, "Sometimes, a good idea will come to fruition later. I suggested David Gallagher and David Selby during lunchtime conversations for other projects.  The idea stuck and  they were cast for later projects.

"Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" at Disneyland

Another lunchtime discussion about the reboot of "Great Moments with Mr.  Lincoln" at Disneyland using the proprietary format of binaural sound,  Melissa suggested casting Lane Davies as Civil War photographer, Matthew  Brady.

Melissa pitched the idea by saying, "If the fabulous voice of Lane Davies in both ears (binaural sound) doesn't put people in  the theater, nothing will."
