Hurray for Hollywood
May 3rd on the Sunset Strip, a few paces from legendary entertainment establishments like the Whisky A Go Go nightclub and the Chateau Marmont hotel, we had our Hollywood debut at Book Soup, “Bookseller to the Great and Infamous”.
Since Anastasia has lost her voice and is reduced to a whisper (allergic to the Western United States?) we were lucky it was an intimate evening surrounded by her friends from their days at Metro Goldwyn Mayer motion picture studio, including Dianne Magambo from Yahoo (also our LA hostess), screenwriter Billie Jo Mason who evaluates creative material for the William Morris Agency, and Sarah Shaw, reknowned boutique clothier and handbag designer to the stars.
Questions from other audience members revolved around the dating scene in İstanbul (Los Angeles residents seemed surprised to hear that chivalry is not dead!).
