Last night in L.A., eating Thai take-out and watching episodes of 30 Rock on Hulu after a long day of meetings. The night before I met my kid sister for dinner. She’s casting her pilot and was having a hard time finding the right young woman for a certain role when I spotted a gorgeous young woman sitting on a banquet at 9:00. I told my sister to check her out and immediately she saw what I saw. We asked if she was an actress and, eureka! she was. My sister told her a little bit about the show and then then asked for the name of her agent, which she put in her blackberry. My sister’s casting director will call the young woman’s agent in the morning to set up an audition. Only in LA, kids, only in LA.

You are a Yenta–L.A. style, that is.
Oh, how I wish that could happen for writers! If only we could tattoo our novels to our foreheads!! Maybe just our first lines?? Or perhaps I need to practice putting on a wise, literary air so people can tell from a glance just how brilliant I am?? Excuse me, you look so witty and wordy, you’re not a writer by any chance, are you?
LOL Susan, I love it!
Correction on the day’s Star Meter: 1. She’s sure to be huge, and someday she’ll write a blockbuster autobiography which thanks her literary agent for discovering her. Hmm, so who will play you in the movie version?
That is so cool. Good luck to your sister’s show and the girl.
Spotted a gorgeous young actress, tempted her with a role, and put her name in your blackberry?
LA: You’re Doing It Wrong.
What a great moment for that young woman (and your sis). Will be an incredible story if it works out!
