IMDbPro: Do you remember seeing your first credit on IMDb? How did it feel?
Merle Dandridge: My first credit was a pilot. My very first pilot. I had previously been solely a Broadway girl, so it represented a step into a new pool I didn’t think I’d be swimming in. Since then, it reads to me like a professional diary. It reminds me of places I’ve been, friends and colleagues I’ve made along the way, and the great privilege of doing what we get to do for a living.
