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.
