Roberta Wallach made her film debut at sixteen in "The Effect Of Gamma-Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds", directed by Paul Newman. Since then, she has been acting on stage and screens (see IMDB for credit details.)
She appeared in the award-winning "Driftwood 2: Lizard Mom" as the Lizard Mom, "Koko Takage". This series came about during the recent pandemic and Roberta directed and reprieved her Lizard Mom role in "Driftwood 3: Baby Alien" ; and is thrilled to have collaborated again with the creative and talented Rebecka Ray, Darren Campo, Daniel Goldfarb and David Hecter (and, with special thanks to Randall Caporale.)
Roberta was delighted to a part of this unique and fun-filled project.
"Driftwood Baby Alien" uses humor to reevaluate how spirituality and science should not contradict each other. There is more to reality than meets the eye, and sometimes we can only see the invisible through laughter.
