nearly finished that now, and I?ve got a great job with some great people. It?s just the way that life?s gone for me. NELL SCHOFIELD: I haven?t actually acted since 1988. I guess what happened for me is that I really got bored sitting around waiting for the phone to call. So I started volunteering at a local radio station, and I learned how to broadcast. I call myself a writer and broadcaster now. I?ve worked for the last 14 years as a film reviewer and presenter on Showtime, interviewing film people, actors. BRUCE BERESFORD, FILM DIRECTOR: I think Nell not having acted is a bit of a shame because I always thought she was very talented. She?s a lively, bright, vivacious funny girl. I think she could have had an acting career if she really wanted it and I guess she didn?t really want it. I think she probably just did other things. NELL SCHOFIELD: I bought my property on the western side of the Great Divide back in 88 on the proceeds of my last acting gig. And it?s been just the most wonderful thing for me to have that place as a retreat. I had, you know, several boyfriends when I was young, and then when I was 21, when I was at NIDA, I had my first girlfriend. It wasn?t such a big thing for me discovering that I was gay. I just think whoever you love is who you love and that?s a wonderful thing
