Happy Birthday April!

Happy birthday wishes go out today for one of my favorite actresses, Ms April Bowlby. A northern California girl, she studied ballet and French at nearby Moorpark College in Ventura, before deciding to take up acting. She secured her most famous role to date just months after her first audition, as the loveable (and I mean that in every sense of the word) Kandi on "Two and a Half Men," the program Shannon and I like so much (and which another of my favorite actresses also has a recurring role, Ms. Melanie Lynskey, whose birthday we've already celebrated. It's such a small world). April has since played on many other television shows, the 2007 film "All Roads Lead Home," and is currently working on the Lifetime series "Drop Dead Diva." All of us here at Joyce's Take wish the lovely Ms. Bowlby continued success, and a very happy birthday! Happy Birthday April!
