My cousin (pen name Katherine Bower) is a bit of a rennaisance woman, she's modeled, written books and has just finished acting in a SyFy original movie. From her facebook:

Just got back from filming 'Sinbad' in Bacabush, Belize. The Production company put us up for 2 nights at the Princess Hotel & Casino (nice!) Movie will debut on SyFy channel in 4-5 Months. I was a siren luring men to their death. Very fun & interesting to see a movie made. Learned how to take a fall from a stunt guy &... how to die! I'm so sore!!!

She got to keep the contacts.
