Actually, I'm a very nice person.

About Actually, I'm a nice person.

Ex-Hollywood-type-->journo-->media relations type. Gen Xer festooned with freckles, wit, wisdom & all the crap. Former coworkers include Oscar & Pulitzer winners. I'll never recover from the time a now-dead 70s star vomited in my Jetta.
