Debrah decided to go back to college and study science after having two children and being an actress for 20 years. She is a biochemistry major at Mount St. Mary's College in Brentwood, CA.
Debrah: Technically, I'm a biochemistry major. But ... a great thing about women in their 40s, going back to school and doing it part time, is that I thought that's what I wanted to do, and after a year there, I realized it was really molecular biology that I love. And it's really a long-term journey, because I'm juggling family and work.
Debrah: (On dropping the O in her name.) I was very young. I was on a rooftop in Rome. And a friend gave it to me as a gift and we were feeling free and it just felt right to drop the 'O.' I never liked the name Debbi.
