The Katrina Crittle Connection : Who is Odessa Crittle Cleveland? Part 2 of 3

This is a biography of Odessa written by herself on Xlibris.com : " I am a retired National Board Certified teacher(30 years with Los Angeles Unified School District) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education and English and a Master Degree in Business Management and Education. I worked as a Mentor Teacher for the district for thirteen years, and I worked as a Consulting Teacher for the Peer Assistance and Review Program under the auspices of United Teachers of Los Angeles the last two years of my career. As a writer I have been published as a poet in several local and national magazines in the past, wrote objectives for various subject areas, wrote articles for school, the union and to the community paper. I have made several television and movie appearances."

I would like to say she really down plays her television and movie appearances. Odessa was in the original pilot show of the 1972 series of M.A.S.H. as Nurse Lieutenant Ginger Bayliss. Over the next 5 years she appears in 28 addition episodes of M.A.S.H. She also made single appearance in the following show: The Bold Ones: The New Doctors, Sanford and Son, Rich Man, Poor Man - Book II, The Greatest American Hero, Simon & Simon, and Trapper John, M.D. She also appeared in 1974 musical of Huckleberry Finn and a TV movie of Something for Joey and after 24 she just appeared in the 2010 movie Death and Cremation.
