Sara is grateful that jeans (Lee Jeans), cars (GMC Acadia), and granola bars (Nature Valley) can't talk. When she's not speaking for inanimate objects, she loves speaking for playwrights.

Favorite past lives include "Alice" in "Jitterbug, "Portia" in Julius Caesar, and "Terry" in "No Problem".

Sara owes her life training to Maggie Flanigan (acting), Shane Ann Younts (voice, speech, and Shakespeare), the Actors Movement Studio (movement), and People's Improv Theater and Upright Citizens Brigade (improv).

Sara Van Beckum's modesty prevents her from mentioning her Oscar. But she will say she is grateful...etc
