Cynthia Brian, woman, wife, mother, actor, model, teacher, interior designer,
gardener, artist, casting director, writer, published author, producer, world traveler,
furniture designer, television and radio host... this lady is the Renaissance woman of
the new millennium!
Born on a farm in the Napa Valley in Northern California, the eldest of five children,
she raised chickens and sheep, drove tractors and picked fruit to earn enough money
to pay her way through college. After being named the Outstanding Teenager of
California, she was named teenage ambassador to Holland and was off to study in the
Netherlands for 18 months. While there, she served as foreign correspondent for
several local newspapers and traveled throughout Europe. Thus began the world
travels that would teach her to speak seven languages. Cynthia attended UCLA, the
Universite de Bordeaux in France, and UC Berkeley, graduating with a B.A. in History.
Cynthia’s passion for traveling and people is matched by her passion for acting which
she has been doing professionally for over two decades, working in films,
commercials, and print ads with some of the biggest names in the entertainment
industry. She has hosted several television shows and has been active in all phases of
the acting world. Her company, Starstyle™ Productions offers private consultations on
the business and her book The Business of Show Business has served as an
extremely popular and useful guide. As an acting coach, she has guided the careers
of several hosts for other talk shows as well as talent on established series.
Cynthia, a certified interior designer, is president of her own interior design firm,
Starstyle™ Interiors and Designs. Her designs have been featured in several books,
magazines, newspapers and television shows. She produced A Gardeners Calendar
and also designs furniture, including her popular Starstyle™ Gametable and
Ottomans.
She currently produces, writes and hosts two television series, Starstyle™Live
Your Dreams, an inspirational program about people who are doing what they love
in life; and Starstyle™The Business of Showbusiness, an educational program
about how to get going and stay going while avoiding the scams in the
entertainment industry. Together with her daughter, Heather Brittany,
Cynthia co-hosts Animal Cuts, segments for TV and radio about the animal
kingdom. Miracle Moments™ are short motivational minutes that she writes
and produces for both TV and radio and are an essential ingredient to her
whimsical messages. Cynthia can be heard weekly on the personal growth radio
program, Starstyle™ Be the Star You Are!™, where she interviews best-selling
authors in personal achievement, business and success. As an honorary board
member of Moms in Print, Cynthia supports mothers that write. (http://www.momsinprint.com/board.html)
She
is the author of the book, Be the Star You Are, Starstyle™ Stories and Success
Strategies for Living, Loving, Laughing, and Learning to Make a Difference (Ten
Speed Press), co-author of Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul (HCI), author of
the quote book Miracle Moments For a Magical Millennium (ARC) and working on her
next book, Daddy's Hands, Mommy's Heart, Children's
Memories.
The goal of Cynthia Brian is to serve others and enhance quality of living by
recognizing that our differences are our greatest strengths. We must start from the
inside and work out knowing that nothing is impossible and that "sooner or later, the
person who wins is the one who thinks s/he can!" Her theory is that we must be
individuals, we must be willing to risk, and we must think big. "Dream the dream, write
the plan, go into action to get the skills necessary to create your destiny and most of
all, believe in yourself and all the possibilities," is Cynthia’s recipe for success and
happiness. It is important to appreciate the little things in life so that we may create
global harmony and beauty one step at a time. "See the invisible and create the
impossible" is her creed. With this in mind, she has founded a non-profit organization
devoted to the distribution of positive programming called Be The Star You Are!
For a farm girl from Napa Valley, her hard work, energy, action, and jamais di jamais
(never say never) positive attitude have certainly added the sparkle to a starstyle life,
a testimony to the belief that you too can Be The Star You Are!
