Leslie Easterbrook

Leslie may be best known as Callahan, the larger than life drill instructor in the "Police Academy" movies. She also created the role of Rhonda Lee on the TV series "Lavern and Shirley", as well. Rhonda was the girl's flamboyant next door neighbor when the show moved to Hollywood. You think those characters are divergent? She also created Devlin, the singing-supper-club owner and entertainer/interpol agent, on the daytime soap "Ryan's Hope" and Bunny, the passed out parry girl, in Neil Simon's Broadway hit, "California Suite". These are only a few of Leslie's acting credits and the list just keeps on growing with movies like "The Song of the Lark" for Mobil/Exxon Masterpiece theatre for PBS, "Two Small Voices" for Lifetime Network and feature films "Maniacts", "Collector of Souls", "The Biggest Fan" and "Obsessive Compulsive".

In between perfuming in plays and movies she finds time to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" at a variety sporting events (including Superbowl XVHII) and participate in the shotgun sports.

She is on pro-staff at HTVIZ, a company that manufactures a superior sight-system, and is on the advisory boards of Sugarbugs, Inc., The National Law Enforcement Memorial, The Hollywood Celebrity Shoot, and a committee recently formed by the French government to honor American World War H veterans who participated in D-Day and the liberation of France. Leslie also has her own theatre in Nottingham England - The Leslie Easterbrook Auditorium - at the Showcase Cinema there!
