She had a minor role in the hit TV series “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and then starred in the TV series “Wendy and Me” the following year. Michele’s charm and signature long wild hair quickly drew the attention of producers and casting directors, and she made her acting debut the same year she moved to Los Angeles. She took her son along, but after a few good modeling jobs, she decided it was time to return to her first love, acting. Her acting drew the attention of the entire Hollywood community, and she became a well-known actress after starring in films such as El Dorado in 1967, The Wild West in 1965, and Live a Little, Love a Little in 1968. Apart from acting, she also had other interests such as horseback riding and shooting.

Robinson Crusoe is a candidate for the earliest English novel ever written nonethless, it is also a serious contender for one of the best novels. When one realises that it based on the life's story of an actual man, this really hits home. Despite the occasionally unfamiliar language, the action is fast-paced and Defoe succeeds in developing a tremendous empathy with his subject. That said, I found it an extremely gripping novel. There is so much to the plot that I keep remembering twists that I've forgotten. The kids' adaptations remove most of what makes this a good read. If your only encounter with Robinson Crusoe so far has been through some children's adaptation, you're in for a real treat. Nonetheless, taken just as a novel, it is one of the best and most enjoyable I have read. It isn't primarily an adventure story: it is primarily a tract, a polemic against Rome. Reviewers are completely missing the point of this novel.
