Lessons From Hollywood

I confess to an absolute delight in The Rules of Hollywood essays. Having once upon a time had a “meet” with a top Hollywood talent agency (as I recall, several people sat in on that weird event), a subsequent meeting at a Malibu condominium about adapting a screenplay from my book, “Runaway Wives”--all of which, I admit, came to naught --I adore sharing in some sense of schadenfreude and reading about the various and sundry mishaps of would-be, might-have-been and even successful screenwriters. I always look forward to this weekly, brief summary of Hollywood writers’ trials and tribulations.
