May 14, 2010 — Caroline Siobhan Ryon [JS '10] is moving from the footlights to the bar.

Graduating May 23 from the University of Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in English and drama, Ryon started as a stage actress, interned with a film producer and now will start law school at U.Va. in the fall.

“I saw I had potential to do good through the law,” said Ryon, who hopes to have a law practice representing the “creative talent.” “As a lawyer with an entertainment background, I can relate better with colleagues. I can understand the production concerns, rather than just know the legal technicalities.”
