Wendy Kurtzman Just for a Thrill

Long time, top Hollywood Casting Director, Wendy Kurtzman, is stepping out from behind the camera to pursue what she loves most: singing. Kurtzman has released her independently produced debut recording, 'Just for a Thrill" to CD Baby and all other online retailers.

'Just for a Thrill" is collaboration with many notable musicians including Rick Jensen, Christopher Marlowe, Peter Calo, Jack Bashkow, Dan Gross and Tom Hubbard. The disc features classic and contemporary tunes from favorites like Cy Coleman, Billy Joel and Joni Mitchell among others. Wendy's recording of Cy Coleman's 'Come Summer" is currently being featured on Delta Airlines, and they will add the title track this summer via their in-flight entertainment collaboration with Hello Music. A complete track listing follows below.

The L.A. based Kurtzman was a working actress whose decision to try an internship in a casting office ultimately led her to the other side of the acting business. She built a stellar career as a film and television Casting Director whose intuitive choices helped launch the burgeoning careers of many notable screen and television actors. She founded her own company, Wendy Kurtzman Casting, and collaborated with many talented directors such as Paul Schrader, Antoine Fuqua, Marshall Herskovitz and Roland Emmerich, among others.

When her love of music proved irresistible in 2008, she created and performed her one-woman show – 'Something Cool" – at the Knitting Factory in Los Angeles. In 2009 she performed a follow-up to that show, 'Who is this Wendy Sheridan? (and what does she want with me?), at the M Bar. Shows in San Diego, Santa Fe and New York followed, as well as performances for charity and private events. In addition to pursuing her music career, Kurtzman is currently transitioning to another exciting new business, set to launch in 2012.
