Donna Lyons Interviews Actress Dee Wallace

Dee Wallace is an internationally known actress (200 credits in films and TV series, as well as over 200 commercials). Best known for her role as the mother in Steven Spielberg's E.T. Dee earned her teaching credentials from The University of Kansas, and has worked as a teacher in the public school system, as well as her own dance and acting studios. Ms. Wallace expanded her love of teaching, and the principles she found empowering for children, into daily sessions, a radio show and five books.

It is a well-known fact that the basis of most of our world's problems is a lack of self love, importance and self-esteem. It is the core of bulimia, anorexia, bullying, poor grades, and early pregnancy. Ms. Wallace wanted to do something about these challenges that so often escalate into shootings, racism, and discrimination within our society.

Ms. Wallace has created a unique, first-of-its-kind best friend for children which interacts with them by teaching them strong, powerful, fun, statements to help them claim how special they really are. The BuppaLaPaloo Bear is designed to teach children to define themselves and their world in powerful ways.

Dee has also written a book called "On Dandelion Seed" a spiritual children's book about the true meaning of happiness.
