HER ROLE IN THE SHOW A LITTLE PIECE:
Isabella was originally suppose to play a minor part but the producers liked her so much they made her recurring role.
She became a major character marrying John Black. Character was later killed off- but before playing a possessed demon.
John and Isabella would have a son BRADY VICTOR BLACK.
Isabella was locked up in a mental institution by her sister Marina, in order to keep her from telling their father
what she was up to.
She escapes and confronts Marina in her hotel room. When Marina pulled out a gun, they fought. She accidently
killed her sister, but she blocked it out.
Jack learned that his brother was blackmailing Marina, so he goes to the asylum. He saw that Izzy was very sane indeed
And she told him all of the family fortune.
Jack found the key to the treasure at Steve's house, but first he would make a duplicate key before giving it to Izzy.
Jack found the treasure when he flew to Haly, it was the diary of Loretta (Isabella's mom).
Isabella gave the key to Victor in exchange for Kayla's safe returned. She got shot but survived.
Kayla got convicted of Marina's murder.
While she was in Victor's attic she remembered she killed Marina. Marina had taped it but Victor spliced it so Kayla
would take the fall.
With her memory returned and was set free because she killed Marina in self-defense.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE FIND INFORMATION IN "THE CRUISE OF DECEPTION"
TRIVIA:
Left DAYS because she was tired of acting, became a writer, worked in a publicity firm that handled sitcoms
Roseanne, Cosby Show
On New Year's Eve her boyfriend and her were robbed at gunpoint. Because she didn't see the gun pressed in her boyfriends chest, she hesitated about handing over her purse, which only had a $1.00 in cash. A week later, some one
stoled her car out of the parking lot where she keeps it.
She loved playing the role about her coming back from the dead. It gave the John/Izzy closure.
When Isabella died Ken Corday gave me an original instrumental piece "ISABELLA" which he wrote for me. It
Was such a lovely gift.
Playing Izzy made me grow up.
FIRST DAY: I had a roll of dimes to have enough money to by gas to get to the studio.

After she left DAYS she did a lot of writing in many forms, including poetry and prose as well as personal writings
She finished the first book for children and filmed a children's movie "GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BEARS"
