[edit] Recent activity

In spring of 2005, the heavy rainfall in Southern California recharged a local aquifer, reviving a dormant natural spring directly beneath Burroughs' house. With no support from officials in her district (Los Angeles 4th) and the LADWP, her only recourse was to install a pump and divert the thousands of gallons water to the nearest storm drain.

Burroughs recently served as a panelist for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' "Women in Prime" event. The forum, held on March 14, 2006, focused on ageism, sexism and other concerns of women in the entertainment industry.
