Rima Lyn

n 1976, she moved to Los Angeles. She continued her interest in acting and studied with Judy Mcglaughlin, Lynette Katselas and later with Stephanie Feury. She received encouraging feedback from a number of auditions, including coming in 2nd for the TV series, Fame. Her dance audition with Debbie Allen was a career high. In 1985, she was lucky enough to win a role alongside Katey Sagal and Pamela Adlon in the Jay Gruska/Paul Gordon musical, "Backstreet." For one of the performances, she performed with Miguel Ferrer, who understudied the 'Gang Leader' for a weekend. Other theater highs include a 'starred review' performance for "Cowboy Mouth" in Pasadena.

Her first film role was a cameo in the cult classic, "Better Off Dead." She played the 'geek next door', Joanne Greenwald, and got to do something she would never do in real life, refuse a date with John Cusack! She almost wound up on the cutting room floor, and is forever grateful to writer/director Savage Steve Holland for picking her to play the role

Her television roles included "Silver Spoons," "227," and later, "Felicity." She appeared as a jaded fashion commentator on the children's show "2 HIP 4 TV." Her character was interviewed by Colin Quinn and the hardest part was keeping a serious pout while Colin cracked wise.

She went on to do a number of satisfying things with her life, including teaching performing and fine arts to gifted teens, publishing her poetry, writing music, screenplays and becoming a personal chef with a number of delightful celebrity clients. She recently opened a popular café in Todos Santos, BCS, named Bistro Magico.

In 2023, she wrote, produced and co-directed a short film based on her award-winning screenplay. "Super Taco" is currently making a festival run and she looks forward to shooting the feature film in 2024.
