Discretion, Discretion advised.

This is 10-minute murder. Adrian Levine was born on June 7, 1966 in Queens, New York.

By 10 years old, she was already acting at the Stage Door Manor Performing Arts Training Center.

She made her professional debut while still in high school

in a production of Annie. After graduating, she enrolled in Boston University and majored in film production,

but she dropped out and moved to Manhattan to pursue an acting career. It wasn't long before

she caught the attention of Hal Hartley, as he cast her for some of his independent films.

Her talent was recognized by both agents and audiences.

She decided to go by the name Adrian Shelley as a tribute to her father.

She continued to get film roles and guest starred in several TV shows, including Law and Order,

Oz, and Homicide Life on the Streets. As much as she enjoyed being in front of the camera,

she still loved performing for live audiences. Shelly starred in major roles in over two dozen

off-Broadway plays, often at Manhattan's Workhouse Theater.

Although Shelly was a gifted actress, she became tired of the rampant sexism that she faced

in the industry.

She wanted to transition from a performer to a playwright.

And she did.

It turns out that she was also brilliant behind the camera.

In 1999, she wrote, directed, and acted in the

movie, I'll take you there, and won multiple film awards. She was quickly achieving every

goal that she had set, except for one. She wanted a family. A new chapter in her life started

in 2001 when she met Andy Ostroi on Match.com.
