More about me

Native New Yorker. Journalist, dramatist, critic. Trying to raise money (at the moment) for a play based on true events in the life of Mae West during the Prohibition Era: "COURTING MAE WEST."

Motto: "It is better to be looked over than overlooked." - - MAE WEST

Favorite saying: "Goodness had nothing to do with it!"

Current goals include:
• • Raising funds to stage my play "COURTING MAE WEST" at the Algonquin Theatre, NYC during July 2008.
• • Organizing a colorful exhibition ~ "MAE WEST'S NEW YORK, 1899 - 1959" ~ for a major museum in NYC. I'm also involved in projects linked to this museum installation. And you are all invited to the opening. When is it? Come up and see MAE on EONS to receive up-dates.
