Eclectic actress turns to directing for 'Circus Rosaire'
BY BILLY COX
Robyn Bliley got hooked on big-cat acts as a 6-year-old, when a Sarasota family called the Rosaires toured Tennessee.
Decades later, the renowned animal trainers have become her subjects in "Circus Rosaire," co-produced by Chad Wilson.
Now living in Los Angeles, Bliley has an eclectic acting resume dominated by TV dramas and sitcoms.
But after spending five years with documentary filmmaking, Bliley says she'd much rather be behind the camera than in front of it. Her dream goal is to convert the Rosaire story into a TV series.
