Bunny Levine's lifelong passion for entertainment began at an extremely young age. As a mere two-year-old, she would insist on performing her rendition of "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" to anyone who would listen, and even to those who wouldn't. This precocious talent continued to unfold as she grew older, with her favorite game being a simulation of Hollywood star performances, complete with screams and fainting fits, a common occurrence during those times.
As she entered elementary school, Bunny's creative energy knew no bounds. She wrote, directed, and starred in her own epic production, "Debbie's Diary," a testament to her boundless imagination. Her theatrical pursuits continued unabated throughout her school years, with lead and supporting roles in numerous productions.
When she transferred colleges after her sophomore year, Bunny's marriage led her to reevaluate her career aspirations. She switched majors from Theater Arts, opting instead to focus on other pursuits. However, her love of acting remained strong, and she continued to hone her craft by working at the college radio station.
As a young mother, Bunny's priorities shifted, and she put her acting ambitions on the backburner for 25 years. She devoted herself to her family, working primarily as a school librarian to support her husband, a college professor, and their three children. Storytelling and book talks became her outlets for creative expression, helping to satiate her performing aspirations.
In a surprising turn of events, Bunny began taking acting classes, attending auditions, and immersing herself in the world of acting after her early retirement. She soon joined the acting unions and began booking commercials, roles in soaps and episodics, as well as films. The passing of her beloved husband, Bernie, marked a new chapter in her life, as she relocated to the LA market and continued to study, book, and strive.
Throughout her remarkable journey, Bunny has accumulated an impressive array of credits, including appearances in Law & Order, The Jimmy Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, Gilmore Girls, a forthcoming Charles Busch film, and Las Vegas. As a septuagenarian, she remains the epitome of energy and agility, with a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning and exercise for the acting muscle.
