May 27, 2008

Sexuality education is a passion.
Kennedy, 28, of Epping, initially went to Vassar College as a drama major; graduated with a Bachelor of Arts — same denotation. But she knew, love acting as she may, it wasn’t going to be a full-time career.
“I think I fantasized about going professional till about halfway through. About then, maybe junior year, I thought — this is really a hard life! I need stability and I need health insurance,” she says, no humor to her tone. “What got to me? I think probably some of the level of the competitiveness amongst people and hearing stories about how hard it is out there. I started to realize this wasn’t going to be easy.”
