I was polite, direct and professional.
But after the execs gave their notes on the script and NONE of my Requests were honored, I was told 'take it or leave it'.
I left it.
And the paycheck."Responding to her statement a company spokesperson told CBS News on Tuesday that Burton "was not an employee of Crown Media Family Networks."Burton has featured in a number of Hallmark Channel movies that included "Summer Villa," "Surprised by Love" and "Naughty or Nice".TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source.
