Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was born in 1969, and I didn’t expect a career in the entertainment industry. Yet I was blessed with moxie, stick-to-itiveness, spunk, an off-kilter grin, and a near-delusional ignorance of my own limitations.
#2 I was so excited about the commercial that I showed up with giant red blotches all over my face and skin the morning of the shoot. The ad aired, and children everywhere got their recommended daily doses of vitaminy goodness because I looked clean, cheerful, and healthy.
#3 The Zestabs commercial let me know that even when something sounds fun and exciting, you should be prepared for splotches. Zestabs went on to make chocolate-flavored vitamins and use Mighty Mouse in their ads.

#1

I was born in 1969, and I didn’t expect a career in the entertainment industry. Yet I was blessed with moxie, stick-to-itiveness, spunk, an off-kilter grin, and a near-delusional ignorance of my own limitations.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

My mother and I lived on the same block as Mr. Green, a septuagenarian who enjoyed bringing over pots of oxtail soup for Mom. One night, we heard a gunshot next door. Mr. Green was tied to his bed, and a dead man was on the floor.

#2

I was always a nervous child, and I was never really comfortable in social situations. I was always a dyed-in-the-wool nerd, and I was easily paralyzed by nervousness.

#3

I had a sibling who could be counted on to crush any sign of confidence I ever showed. I grew up with a sister who could be counted on to crush any sign of confidence I ever showed. The two things that changed this were the time I bit Sis, and the fact that Shelly, a friend of mine, moved in with us.

#4

As a latchkey kid, I often had the run of the house, and became particularly independent during my preteen years. I was not athletic or outgoing, but I was quick to spout know-it-all information as a defense mechanism.

#5

The show’s success meant that my mother was in demand around the country. She acquired a manager, Marty Tudor, who had designed light shows for concert acts like Barry Manilow.

#6

While Mom was in Chicago, her son, Jonny, was seen begging for money and jobs on the street by the elderly Norma Vogelstein from upstairs. She was mortified, but I explained that I was just asking for more hours.

#7

My friend David and I were always up to something dangerous and fun. We did stuff that would curl your hair, especially when the third member of our posse, Artie, was around. We had games like Overzealous Security Detail and Fraudulent Pot Bust.

#8

I once participated in a séance at the Equity Library Theatre, in the hopes of contacting the ghost of a dead Russian. The Master Apartments building, which then housed the Equity Library Theatre, was built in 1929 in part as a showcase/haven/command center for a guy named Nicholas Roerich. He was a Russian-born artist who attracted a worldwide following to his brand of Eastern-influenced mysticism and philosophy.

#9

I grew up watching television, and it never occurred to me that performing on the tube was something to aspire to. I was too consumed by the idea of being a movie star. I came of age in the dawn of the blockbuster, when Steven Spielberg and George Lucas inspired moviegoers with their mixture of old-fashioned storytelling and eye-popping visuals.

#10

I had grown to love the idea of Hollywood, and when I was a grade schooler visiting my dad after he moved there to kick-start a movie career as an actor, I was completely starstruck by the name of a street in Hollywood on the ground. I imagined that if I waited long enough, I would catch a glimpse of Mary Tyler Moore.

#11

I had a chorus teacher named Bob Sharon, who was a gifted musician and an admirably stern taskmaster. He inspired devotion and hard work from his students, and many of them went on to become famous.

#12

I was in a West Side Story production, and while I was nervous, I felt a part of something artistic. I realized that pursuing acting might be worth my time.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

Stagedoor Manor was a theater camp in the Catskills Mountains that I attended in 1979. It was a place where kids with no hope of being popular in their everyday public schools could rise to the top of the food chain on talent and an encyclopedic command of the works of Stephen Sondheim.

#2

I attended Stagedoor camp in upstate New York in the 1980s. It was a boot camp-style camp that focused on producing stage shows, and it was extremely intense. I was there to indulge my acting interests, but I soon realized that the camp took it very seriously.

#3

I began to enjoy acting exercises, and my friend David Dennis, who roomed with me that first year, continued to smirk at how seriously the campers took everything. David preferred to hone his skills at decadence and rule breaking.

#4

I began to think that I had found my calling in acting, and I began to wonder why Stagedoor couldn’t last all year.
