"The character I play (Belle) is an incredible role model for the younger generation so it's been an honor playing her," said Ms. Feinberg, who memo- rized the lines by listening to them over and over again. "I feel more self-disci- plined now than when I was younger. Back then, everything was mapped out. This is what I wanted to do; this is what I had to do — ballet classes at this time, skating classes at that time, weight lifting at another time. I had no time for dates or friends or parties or anything like that. "Now that I'm on the road I have choices, so now I have self-discipline. Although I've missed out on a lot, it's given me so much more." One series of important experiences comes about off the rink, when she dresses up as Belle and visits children in hospi- tals, schools and libraries. 4 FARMINGTON HILLS • 855-460 of Middlebett) Northwestern Hwy.

"It's been amazing to me how much this character has touched the lives of so many young people," she explained. "I can hear lit- tle children saying, 'Belle, love you.' "I was in a cancer ward where there was a little boy who had no hair and obviously had been through extensive chemo- therapy. He was so excited to see Belle. His eyes just lit up, and his mother came in during our visit. "He said, 'Mom, Belle's here; you have to meet her. Oh, by the way, I got my IV out today, but you have to meet Belle.' "The fact that he was getting better and was able to get up and walk around didn't seem to matter as much as Belle's being there and talking to him." As Ms. Feinberg travels, she also experiences a spe- cial bond with the Jewish ence, and I feel I have all these opportunities unfolding in front of me. "Skating is something I just have a great love for. I meet wonderful people on the road. I see the country. I just don't know how things could be bet- ter."

Li Maradith Feinberg: At home on ice. people she meets, particu- larly since her focused background did not allow much time for religious activities. "I feel there is a sense of community," she said. "For instance, the family of one of the cast members had me and some of the other Jewish cast mem- bers over for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It was wonderful. "People send me New Year cards and bring me gefilte fish, and it's almost like they adopt me." Because of her years away from home, Ms. Feinberg said, family rela- tionships and finances were strained. However, with everyone working together, she and her par- ents have become closer than ever. "I had a great career as an amateur, although I never did go to the Olympics, which was something I wanted," she commented. "As a profes- sional, I've gotten much more than I ever expected. It thrills me to be out there in front of an audi- Bonstelle Stages Hansberry Play The Wayne State University Department of Theatre will present Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun at the Bonstelle Theatre March 5-14.
