For now we dish about Hollywood, and later… Would you like me to read you a story? A bit of a story? Tomorrow?
There was a time in late 1980 through to early 2000, when I would get sent on pitch meetings. It was also the era when spec scripts boomed and people were getting millions for three page treatments and command performances in some exec’s office. Needless to say, I was never a recipient of this largesse, but I did have a few scripts optioned, and I had plenty of lunches on the studio dime where I was sure I didn’t order […]

If Audrey Hepburn had a potty mouth, she might have written It’s in His Kiss
Pouf Honey! Before we begin, I said to the Mister recently that if his current Herr Direktör didn’t let him go home early, I would go down to the set with a pair of pinking shears with which I’d cut off Little Herr! What? Too much?! The Mister thought so…after he’d stopped laughing at my Lucille Ball with Anger Management Issues folderol… Babies, today at Beguiling I thought we’d do something a little different and talk about the way of the […]

This is the one who slapped a cop…
When I was a kid the Gabors roamed Palm Springs. Zsa Zsa, pictured here, Eva, of television fame, Magda, who married well and often. Their mama, Jolie was a jewelry designer (I think) and I know she had store on Palm Canyon in Palm Springs. Well babies, I am not lying around in Shantung Silk Pajamas this morning, or pearls. But I am wondering if you’d like me to read you a bit more of the novel? Let me know. […]

I’ve got something on my mind… it might have a bit to do with stagefright
I am doing something I’ve never done before, and I’m going to read, out loud, a little bit of my novel, “It’s in His Kiss”, and post it on the site tomorrow. It is saucy, mildly funny, it is about Hollywood, and it is kinda a romance-mystery behind the scenes look at the lives of people whose business is to be in the public eye. I am not used to be being in the public eye, so I’m a little […]
