Weston shines a spotlight on 4 of the Coppock family ladies

The town of Weston is home to many talented residents, but this spring four women from one family who lived in town for many years have had great success in their creative pursuits. 

All three Coppock sisters, Laurel, Selena, and Emily, attended and graduated from Weston High School.

 Laurel Coppock, now residing in Los Angeles, California, has been featured in Toyota commercials as the customer service lady, "Jan."  In real life, "Jan" is actress Laurel Coppock, who is a member of the Groundlings comedy troupe in Los Angeles. Her resume includes appearances on shows like Modern Family, Arrested Development,Two Broke Girls, The Office, and Workaholics. We expect with her success for Toyota to see much more of her on the big and small screens in the future. 

Sister, Selena Coppock, now residing in New York, has just had her first book released by Harper Collins. This guidebook for blondes should make fabulous fun summer reading. The New Rules for Blondes: Highlights from a Fair-Haired Life, is chocked with humorous tips for blondes of all ages, many based on Selena's own life experiences. On sale now, as a printed book, an e-book, and an audio book, it's the perfect gift for the blondes in your life.

Selena works as a stand-up comic and a professionnel story-teller, and has appeared on NPR's "Moth." 

Emily Coppock Weintraub, now of Wayland, is an appraiser and dealer of fine art, primarily 19th and 20th American paintings. She appraises artworks for insurance purposes, estates, and for the IRS. 

Emily is an Associate Member of the Appraisers Association of America and holds a certificate in Appraisal Studies in Fine and Decorative Arts from New York University, as well as undergraduate degrees in Art History and French from Colby College. Emily is certified in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and works according to those standards.

The talented mother of these three young women is Susan Coppock, now residing in Lincoln, who just released her own first book, entitled Fly Away Home: A Coming of Age Memoir.

As reviewed on Amazon.com, "For all of his breathtaking survival skills, Houdini, the famous escape artist, had nothing over Susan Coppock, the author of Fly Away Home: A Coming of Age Memoir. From an early age, this resilient child of a Ziegfield Follies dancer/Broadway actress spent 20 years escaping the stinging words and threatening ways of a mother who had minimal maternal instincts and a maximum ability to belittle and humiliate her younger daughter. Her self-preservation skills allowed her to escape a hurtful home life by imagining that she could fly above it...and she did!

"This is the gripping story of a child who found other women to encourage and support her emotionally, when her own mother didn't know how. Sad as her early years were, Susan Coppock brings humor to her story that will make you smile through the heartbreak.

"As an adult, she managed to overcome the challenges she faced as a child, to succeed as a teacher, a wife, a mother, and then an author. You won't want to miss this compelling book, now available as an ebook on your favorite reader."
