WORST MOMENT IN LA: “One night I heard a knock on my door. Outside was a strange 80 year-old man. Without saying a word he walked into the apartment, sat on my couch, and began to vomit profusely. A hooker, who the stranger picked up earlier in the evening, was outside the apartment demanding cab fare. I kept going outside to talk to the hooker who finally left after I called 911. Once the ambulance arrived, I had to help the paramedics by holding an IV bag as the man laid on a gurney in the middle of my living room. As for the man, it turns out he was a neighbor I had never met before.”

BEST MOMENT IN LA: “Faye Dunaway approached me while standing in line at Koo Koo Roo with her cell phone out. Faye wanted her hairdresser to copy my haircut for an event that night.”

YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD HER IN: The Homeland Security internal computer system, a Hallmark Commercial, and a Bailey’s commercial.
