A Right Royal Mess
On THIS episode of ZOOM, I had such a lovely time talking the yucky, icky lives of the Kings and Queens of England with the fabulous Amy Nicholson. It was right royal fun!
The Divine Dolly Green
This is such a special day for me. A few years ago the lovely Stephanie Riggio met me outside a Pasadena storage center with boxes of historic photos, letters and telegrams that once belonged to the effervescent Dolly Green, the mid-century Beverly Hill heiress, socialite and hedonistic mystery. This archive would take me down a rabbit-hole into Dolly’s enigma of a life- and I’d be blessed to talk with some of her wonderful friends and family members. Today, my story about her is in The Hollywood Reporter (a longer version will appear online soon). Cheers to you Dolly, wherever you are- I’ll never stop trying to figure you out.
