The Lights of Los Angeles
Oh, I absolutely loved writing this look at the play of light on California artists imaginations throughout the decades. Available in Malibu Magazine on SoCal Newsstands everywhere, or online at pocketmags.com.
The Ma and Pa of Hollywood
So my number one movie idol has always been Carole Lombard. Since I was a kid, I wanted to look like her, act like her, and be as delightfully funny as her. And now I get to write about her in Ventura Blvd Magazine! If you're in the San Fernando Valley pick up a copy and check out my latest story on the ranch she shared with cad Clark Gable in Encino- I dare you not to fall in love with her like I did, and curse the day Gable ever met that tramp Lana Turner!
