Within minutes of post time I would say OK, let’s go with the 3 horse and key him over the favorite with the 7 horse! Obviously, nobody understood what I just said so I needed to translate it…slowly. Then I would go to the ticket window and play it…four times! Once for each of us!

Excerpt from the sheknows interview:

SK: Did you enjoy posing for Playboy?

JL: I liked working with the cast and crew the best. I never thought I’d do it. It took a lot of confidence and talking to my parents. They weren’t too sure of it. They looked at it as an issue of moral. But a woman is beautiful on the inside and out. To tell you the truth, the more you can become one with your body the better.
