Christi, wanted to give you an update on my biography of Stella Adler.  It's in the hands of LA's preeminent literary agents who I was referred to through a friend, but now I'm playing the waiting game.  In the mean time, I launched a blog dedicated to the book.  Will you follow it at http://alifeinartstellaadler.wordpress.com/? Thanks for the support!

Christi, I'm pretty new to Twitter, but I enjoyed the Redbook interview you posted a link to--with Allison Winn Scotch. I loved when she said: "I couldn’t have written Time of My Life, the break-out book of my career, without understanding that resonating bass note of unconditional love that we have for our children..."
