Still Here Hollywood

As a longtime entertainment reporter, I'm accustimed to "asking" the questions...

The rule has been, if you're holding the microphone, your job is to find out about the person you're aiming the mic at.

Today is different... I was asked to leave hollyood 20 years ago. Let's just say it wasn't my choice. Then again, to say that my life has been a strugggle after leaving the red carpets and achnor chair, would be overstating things. A little.

I knew the job was dangerous when i took it. ;)

This is Still Here Hollywood, and today, I'll telll you the story that I've never told, fully.

In recovery you learn "you're only as sick as your secrets". So with that in mind, I'm leaving the questioning to "Friend of the podcast", actor Amy Yasbeck.
