First and foremost, to get it out of the way - I'm sorry Sarah for going off on you..again and again and again. You finally did right with a love scene. You took your time...sweet time. You didn't rush through the segment. Varied sex positions. Both participants were into the action especially Kelly who didn't bother with modesty patch at all. She went all out. The sexy MILF was really into Josh, wasn't she, Sarah? "Cum in my face". Oh my! Nice one there, Sarah.

Kelly is a New York City based actor. She has experience in all sorts of entertainment fields. Except for maybe singing and definitely not dancing.
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (Westside Office)
Kelly’s interest in real estate started after buying her first co-op on the Upper West Side in the late 90s and then buying and selling properties in the Catskills. Having a wonderful experience as a client of Halstead, they were her first call at the start of this new journey. The level of experience, integrity, honesty and the vast marketing machine that Halstead brings to the table are all the things that Kelly passes onto her own clients and customers. She feels strongly that the emotional connection one has to their home is far more important than just dealing with a "property." Having served on the board of her co-op for many years, she brings that perspective to the approval process.
Kelly considers herself a “transplanted native" New Yorker. A childhood dream of moving to New York City became a reality when she moved to the city from Tennessee at the age of 18. Since then, Kelly has grown her career as a top commercial and voice over actor as well as appearing on dozens of TV shows and various comedy groups. Kelly also stars in the web based comedy series, "Marriage and Other Tragedies." She has been the on air host for the Food Network, A&E television and part of a panel of moms for Better TV.
After many years of living on the UWS; Kelly and her family moved to the Washington Heights enclave, Hudson Heights where they have been for about 4 years. Her husband, Victor, 6 year old son Flynn and their recently rescued basset hound, Mason enjoy exploring their neighborhood. Mason particularly enjoys the enormous dog run in Fort Tryon Park. Kelly served as PA co-chair at Flynn’s pre-school program on the UWS and continues to be active in her son’s public school in Inwood where he is in the first grade.
Kelly is a full service sales agent who specializes in working with people new to the New York City real estate market. Whether a buyer or a seller she is adept and making sure the deal can get done.
Her hard work has paid off in the relationships she has forged with fellow agents, her customers and clients. She was recently nominated for Rookie of the Year by the Real Estate Board of New York. This award recognizes the achievement’s of salespersons that have been in the industry for 2 years or less.
“After a 2 year effort to find a property, my husband and I finally met Kelly and our luck quickly changed. Kelly listened to us to understand our needs and was even able to expand our search options through her knowledgeable market insights. We were specific with what we required and Kelly was able to meet our demands, even in a very tight market. The entire process from negotiations through to the executed contract went smoothly, all because we had her at the helm driving the process. We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone searching for their next NYC home.” - Susan and Daniel L.
“Kelly was a pleasure to work with. She never showed us a property that wasn't a viable possibility and never pushed or pressured us to buy something before we were comfortable. Her attention to detail during the oft times excruciating process of purchasing a co-op was truly amazing and the reason we are happily living in our new home. I will recommend her every chance I get.” - Anita and Dave R.
The Actress (dated: 2001)
If you've been watching Seinfeld at 11 p.m. lately, you've probably seen Kelly Deadmon. She plays the Jennifer Jason Leigh look-alike in the Chock Full o' Nuts commercial that typically bookends the show's reruns on weekday nights. Sipping coffee in the living room of her Upper West Side one-bedroom, she notes that the thrill of watching herself on the small screen is long gone -- at this point, she's been at it twelve years. "Mostly I'm just thinking, Oh, yeah, some more money!"
Right now, every airing -- and every ensuing residual check -- is cause for celebration. The past year has been a financial challenge for Deadmon, 34, and her husband of ten months, fellow actor Victer Verhaeghe, 37, who has just left for the Times Square theater where they've been producing a sketch-comedy show. Deadmon, the breadwinner for the time being, makes most of her money from commercial jobs. Last winter during the commercial strike, she ratcheted up her credit-card debt to nearly $11,000. To pay the mortgage and maintenance on their brownstone apartment, she dipped into her mutual fund. "I bought this apartment when work was really good, in 1997, and I was making six figures. It was the smartest thing I've ever done," she says, looking around her cozy country living room. "Now I really need to do some renovations. With each job, I think, If I get this one -- blinds! Or a new bathroom! My neighbor just renovated. Her apartment looks beautiful. I feel like I'm the trailer park of the building."
Commercial bookings were starting to improve again at the end of the summer. Then September 11 happened. Aside from ad budgets' being slashed, commercials in the can weren't even making it on the air. "The thing is, we've already tried to cut out everything because of the strike, so there's not that much more to cut," she says. Their February wedding cost only $1,200. "I found that headband on eBay," she says, pointing to a wedding photo. "The white-rabbit stole I got at a flea market. I told the guy I'd never wear this again and he said to bring it back afterwards and trade it in!" She laughs. "But I got sentimental."
Some amenities are arguably business expenses. The most striking thing about Deadmon is her perfectly platinum-blonde hair, which is cut into a kind of jagged bob. She still goes to the tony Oscar Blandi salon for her cut by Oscar ($275) and color from celebrity colorist Kyle White ($200). "I thought about going to someone cheaper, but I said, 'I can't! I won't!' I just believe that when you think you look good, you feel a lot better," she says. "I did splurge on a $98 Banana Republic orange corduroy jacket. It looks good on camera, so I wear it to all my auditions. But I saw it today -- and now it's $40! I'm totally bringing it back. I won't shop at stores that don't have good return policies."
While she talks, she is getting ready to meet her husband at the theater. She heads down the stairs lugging a tote bag stuffed with props and wonders if she should hail a cab instead of taking the B train. Her brow wrinkles. Then there's a buzzing from the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag she just scored on eBay for $100. She fishes out her beeper and squints at the number. "I got a call back from Midol!" she shouts, smiling again, as she heads toward Columbus Avenue, and a taxi.
Q&A with Kelly Deadmon: Local actress to appear on "Law and Order: SVU" (dated: 2007)
By Krista Richmond / krichmond@crossville-chronicle.com
Tune in to NBC at 9 p.m. on May 8, and you will see a familiar face. Kelly Deadmon, daughter of Ken and Carolyn Deadmon of Lake Tansi, makes an appearance in that episode of "Law and Order: SVU."
For this New York City actress, doing an episode of "Law and Order: SVU" was as natural as hailing a cab. It is yet another credit in a varied and steady acting career.
• First of all, what are the details of your May TV appearance? I play a wife and mother of two. I don't want to give too much away because there is a bit of a twist. This was fun for me. I play opposite Dylan Walsh, who is on the FX show "Nip/Tuck." And the character is a little crazy.
• What attracted you to that role? The same thing that attracts me to most roles — my agent gave an audition. Seriously, if you are an actor in New York City, you always do "Law and Order." I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I only take roles that are bigger than one or two lines.
• How do you decide which roles to take? I am an actor; I take whatever role is given to me. If I audition for it, it is usually good. My agents and manager do a good job of filtering things for me.
• What are your acting credits? I am lucky to be versatile. I have done everything from commercials to hosting a show on the Food Network to sketch comedy to a movie where I played a woman with bipolar disorder
• What are your upcoming roles? I am up for a couple of movies now, but nothing is ever definite in this business. We always like to say, "I'll believe it when I have the check in my hand."
• Who is the most memorable actor/actress you've worked with? I worked with my friend from acting class, Ed Norton, on a film he directed; that was great. One of my best experiences was "Law and Order: SVU." Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni were two of the most wonderful, giving actors I have worked with.
• What do you consider to be your "big break"? I am not sure I have had it yet. I have been very, very lucky to be a working actress for a long time. I never look for the big break, I just keep doing what I am doing.
• How did you get into acting? I moved to New York City right after graduation from Cumberland County High School. I was doing a little modeling, got into commercials, took some acting classes and got an agent who started sending me out.
• Why did you get into acting? Well, I think performing is sort of in my blood. I am the youngest, so I was always looking for attention. My dad is a performer. He sings and plays the saxophone. He is amazing in front of people — very charismatic. So, I guess it was just in me; I can't really imagine doing anything else.
• Who are your acting influences and mentors? Why? Molly Shannon is wonderfully funny and free. Holly Hunter is in an influence because she is Southern and terrific. Alec Baldwin is always fantastic. My friend Robert Petkoff is also pretty terrific; he is a big theater person and always does great work. And my husband, Victor Verhaeghe, is one of the funniest people I have ever met. His commitment to a character is unbelievable.
• Do you prefer stage or screen? Why? Stage is instant gratification. An audience never lies. There is no better feeling than being on stage and hearing laughter, applause and sometimes crying! It is amazing. I really have to say, that is my favorite medium. Although, it is much harder, and the money is not nearly as good!
• What has been your favorite role? Why? That is kinda tough. You kind of forget each role after you do it; you sort of have to let it go, at least for me. But if I had to pick one, I would say Betsey in the off-Broadway play I did titled WASPS in Bed. I really invested in that part, and I really related to her in a lot of ways. It was a great experience all the way around. And my parents flew to New York City to see it, which meant the world to me.
• What is your favorite line that you've delivered in an acting role? Why? This is a family newspaper, so I won't say. But, it was on "Law and Order" a few years ago.
• What would be your dream role? My dream would be to be on a hit TV show, working steadily with a great character. I did a pilot a few years ago where I was a lawyer working with Treat Williams. The show would have shot in New York City if it had gotten picked up. Now that was a dream job.
• Which actor/actress would you most like to work with? Why? Meryl Streep is an obvious choice. She is a amazing. But I would be so intimidated that I would probably pee myself. Frankly, I have already worked with a lot of talented actors that no one has ever heard of. I know some very talented people in New York City. That is the thing about this business — lots of talented people who are not necessarily household names.
• What local productions were you involved in? I moved to New York City right out of high school, so nothing outside of CCHS. Although, I have always wanted to do something at the Cumberland County Playhouse. My dad was the general manager for the POA in Lake Tansi for a hundred years. Not really — it just felt that way. We moved to Crossville in 1978, so I went to elementary school in Crossville when it was across the street from the hospital (what an awesome building), Martin Elementary and then CCHS. I was a flag girl. Good times.
