Dee Freeman
Dee Freeman was a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. She lived in Japan for 6 years, working at an all Japanese radio station FM Aomori. (no one spoke any English…wakarimaska?) Dee has spent the last 20 years acting in television, film and theater. She spent 3 years at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C., and has been nominated twice for the NAACP Image Award for The Last Street Play (opposite Paula Jai Parker) and Homegirl. Her short film The Great Snake Escape, which she wrote, produced and starred in with her daughter Amber, was a finalist at the Chicago Int’l Children’s Film festival. At one time she called her house a zoo because they had 14 exotics; a Bare Eyed Cockatoo named Annabelle, 3 Ball Python snakes, 2 giant African millipedes, a tarantula named Anansi, 3 or 4 Green Iguanas, a Pacman frog, a Bearded Dragon, a Water Dragon, a white rat, 2 Blue Headed Tree Agamas…and 2 dogs. Her screenplay Miss Loe, based on her life story, is currently entered into several screenplay competitions.
