New Executive Producer for the 48 hour Team spineless

Team spineless welcomes Veleka Gray to our team. Veleka is a professional actress, educator, writer, director, and producer with credits in film, television, and Broadway. She has shared the stage or screen with such luminaries as Sigourney Weaver, Ted Danson, Jobeth Williams, Ron Harper, Jameson Parker, Armand Assante, Gerald McRaney, Madeline Kahn, Michael Cole, Bo Svenson, Jack Cassidy, Elliot Gould, Woody Brown, Dana Delany, Rue McClanahan, Scott McKay, Eileen Fulton, Larry Bryggman, Lisa Loring, Andrea Evans, Fawne Harriman, Terry Lester, and Margaret Colin among others.

As an actress on afternoon television, she set several records. She starred in
nine different roles in six soap operas, seven of which were contract roles,
more than any other actor in history. And she is the only actress in soap
history to play two roles on the same show at the same time that were not
related in any way. Her best-remembered parts include Lyla Montgomery on "As
the World Turns" and the unusual dual role of Ruby Collins and Dr. Sharon Reaves
on "The Young & The Restless."

During the fifteen years she was on daytime, she was also a judge for the
National Emmy Awards and is a member of the Academy. For six years she penned a
biweekly column for "Soap Opera Digest" and wrote feature articles on daytime
celebrities for other fan magazines. Her mentors were Bobby Lewis, founder of
the famed Actors Studio, and Warren Robertson, a protege of Lee Strasberg. She
began training actors in 1986 in New York and taught at the College of Dupage in
Illinois from 1992 to 1998. In 2000 she returned to Louisiana and founded her
school, The Actors Alliance, to train actors to work in film.

She was executive producer of the award-winning short film "Halfway," which was
shot in January, 2009, and shown at the New Orleans Film Festival in October.
Her most recent stint as a director was for the play "Breakfast," which was
shown at The People Program in New Orleans in October, 2009, and as the
writer/director of her student film "Reunion," also shot in October. She has
several other film projects in development for 2010 with colleagues in her
group, the Louisiana Filmmakers Meetup. She was inducted into the Louisiana
Hall of Fame in 2004.

Her most recent screen roles are as Dr. Souza in "Flag of My Father," as Eleanor
Cameron in "Flood Streets," as Crystal Mortensen in "Reunion," and as Nurse in
"Television2." She had the title role in "Godmother," an entry in the 2009 48
Hour Film Project.

Welcome aboard.
