The real writer in the family...

So as you know, by the fact that you're reading this, I enjoy writing. I sit down and peck away from time to time here on the net, have tried my hand at scriptwriting whilst I've been here in LA, been known to pen a few long winded e-mails, and like just about everyone else entertained the idea of writing that book about my life, my friend and our experiences (that of course are so different yet so like everyone else's that there is no way it won't be a huge hit!....right?)

I'm not a writer, I'm a Hollywood whore, and now a corporate Hollywood whore! But I am fortunate enough to know a real writer, a brilliant writer and hell I even call her my big sister. Today I read an amazing article that she wrote in the LA Times. And I felt obliged to be able to repost it here on this blog:

Only years later would she discover the full truth: that she was among some 250 children seized from their families as part of a Nazi attempt to improve the Aryan gene pool in pursuit of a mad dream of racial purity.
