greek tragedy: emerging from setbacks

They passed. The networks passed. It’s not an easy thing to admit or even to look at, written out like that, so buck-naked. I pitched a half-hour comedy series, focused on the lives of three former sorority sisters, and…

buick, babes, + belief (that anything’s possible)

It's kind of absurd how happy I am here in Los Angeles. Phil and I are staying with dear friends in West Hollywood. Over dinner last night, said friends told me how when I was touring for…

can chemistry grow outside of a petri dish?

Okay, chemistry, biology, call it what you want. This redhead's drawing a line in the sand. To the point where I never want to say "quite Frankly" again, lest I have to say Frank. I realize posting about a TV…
