Hollywood Becomes Ambassador to New England Music Hall of Fame

Jeanne Hollywood Basone www.jeannebasone.com was on all four seasons of the original GLOW including the pilot episode and went on to have a rather successful stunt, acting and pro wrestling career. A few films and TV shows that Jeanne has been in are “Man on the Moon” starring Jim Carry, “Sister Act,” “Married with Children”, “Son In Law”, “Quantum Leap”, and “JAG” to name a few.

She was trained by Gene Label who is known for working with Bruce Lee. She was also trained by Mando Guerrero from the famous Guerrero wrestling family.

“Jeanne is an accomplished wrestler, actress, and model, stunt woman she is a hardworking business woman and is one of the kindest people you will ever meet” said GLOW historian actor/ host and Comedian Mike Rand.

Jeanne is one of the most naturally gifted actresses I have ever seen. She was one of the kindest people I have ever met and I have always seen her helping people. I had first met Jeanne at the Rhode Island Comic Con. At that point in my life I was starting out as a director. I watched from a distance how she treated people and took the time to speak to her fans. She was so kind and warm to anyone she spoke to. I had asked her if she could work on a silent feature I was working on “Silent Times” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6058070/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 , and a series of short films called Quiet 4 A Cause which were meant to be PSA’s for causes. These films were shot in Stonington Borough, Ct. She agreed and since then anything we have worked on together has turned to gold.

She is incredibly unselfish as an actress she has the ability to improve the people and surroundings around her. She as well as Kadrolsha Ona Carole, Angel Orsini, and Evan Ginsburg have been very influential in the development of Lolipop feature dark mob comedy https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9481630/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 The film is about a small town wanna be criminal who sells counterfeit Lolipops. The names have been changed to protect the ignorant.

She has always been professional on the set and I managed to see her do things that are not possible. I had her for a one day shoot however we had 45 scenes to shoot in that one day. As god as my witness we got through that day shooting all 45 scenes I couldn’t believe it. I was dragging by the end of the day and she still had enough energy to continue. Those scenes were shot at the historical German Club in Mystic, Ct.

She will eventually be working on Circle of Champions the History of Women’s Pro Wrestling https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6065506/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 which is the full documentary of the complete history of women’s pro wrestling which is co-directed by Angel Orsini and myself.

The New England Music Hall of Fame is based in Mystic, Ct and was founded by Kadrolsha Ona Carole, Angel Orsini, and Christopher Annino. The New England Music hall of fame is a non-profit organization created to preserve promote and unit and people through music.

Jeanne has been nominated and has accepted the responsibilities to be a Goodwill Ambassador to the New England Music Hall of Fame www.newenglandmusichof.com

The goodwill ambassador program was created to allow different people of cultures, ethnic backgrounds, different music genres, religions, and different walks of life to help promote and represent the spirit of the NEMHOF. The individual does not have to be from New England and they do not have to be a musician. The individual must be well respected and in good standing with the public. The individual can also help nominate people for the Hall of Fame. Jeanne is currently in negotiations about making customized New England Music Hall of Fame Soaps which she does for a side business.

Special thanks to NEMHOF Trustee and Ambassador Rachel Colleene for designing the certificate and logo.
