CONTINUALLY CARRIE!

IN BED WITH CARRIE FISHER!


How could I forget this moment?  
It started an avalanche of meeting notables, 
a writing career, and it launched
IN BED WITH DANN & KELLY.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .

HOLLY WOODLAWN

What a spirit this girl had! 
It was fun being in her company as something always, always happened extraordinary.
Can't believe she's left the planet . . . 

Read the interview I did with her a few years back:

IRASCIBLE INGELS

MARTY INGELS died today.
I was first introduced to his talent as a kid, watching him on his slapstick television series with John Astin, 
I'M DICKENS, HE'S FENSTER





In 2007, I had the pleasure of spending an 
afternoon with him and his wife, 
Shirley Jones, at their home in Encino,
while interviewing Shirley
for A&U magazine.




SO LONG MARTY!

FAREWELL SUPER MAN

I had the honor of talking with Jack for several hours some time ago.  What came from it is the article below.  I found him to be highly intelligent, extremely talented, and very talkative, eager to tell this willing journalist about his fascinating life in Hollywood, including stories on his friend James Dean and his one time boyfriend, Montgomery Clift.

THE "PRINCESS" REIGNS

 ASHANTI, the R&B dynamo, was lively, comedic, 
 contemplative -- and especially genuine today 
during our interview.





Interview was held at the Roger and Cowan offices 
in the "green" Pacific Design Center.
In my experience, they are one of the most 
cooperative and professional companies, 
as I worked with many of their agents 
through the years.  
Maureen O'Connor, Ashanti's publicist, 
exemplifies their exceptional qualities.




[L to R] Tina, Ashanti's mom and manager, 
Dann, Ashanti, and Jennifer Eagle

Thanks all for an engaging time!

Watch for the upcoming cover story in A&U magazine

So long my companion . . .

I'm saddened today by the death of WAYNE DYER.
Reading his two early books:  
YOUR ERRONEOUS ZONES and 
PULLING YOUR OWN STRINGS 
made an invaluable impact on my life.




I will continure to learn from him, 
even though he's passed from this plane.

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT: ANN-MARGRET!

It's ANN-MARGRET DAY on TCM today, but

WORDS WORDS WORDS

Very enjoyable film with good performances by:  
Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons, 
Zoe Saldana, Dennis Quad, Ben Barnes, and more







"'The Words' is a wonderfully expressed movie that will touch your heart and help people see that it is never worth lying about something even if you want something so much that without it you feel like you cannot go on and that life is hopeless. “Think before you do something” are simple words but are also very powerful and in the end can save another person from experiencing scarring pain. Life is not easy but it’s how you make the best of it that makes you a person worthy of praise."  -- Kelly Sisco
