My friend, film producer John Beug, was at Telluride Film Festival with his documentary, Coltrane. He sent me a note to say there was a documentary called California Typewriter at the festival. I immediately checked out the website and now can hardly wait to see it in my nearest theater. California Typewriter Movie website Please…
My friend, the very stylish jet-setter KIMBERLY KING-JOECKEL sent me a picture of this classic typewriter at the HOTEL JEROME in ASPEN. I’ve never been to Aspen, but when I get there — you can imagine the Hotel Jerome will be the first place I check out! I looked carefully at this picture (above) and…
http://mediaorigin.paleycenter.org/ Denise Avchen and I went for a walk several months ago… and happened upon the Paley Center for Broadcasting Museum in Beverly Hills. I knew there was a typewriter exhibit there — of major collector Steve Soboroff’s machines — and so we stopped by to admire them. Denise got a shot of me geeking…

Donelle Dadigan, the Founder of the Hollywood Museum, fell in love with it. I figured she’d like the concept since she’s big on preserving and honoring the past. Since Kate Spade hasn’t made…
Producer Jay Roach, who directed “Austin Powers” and “Meet the Parents” — now turns his attention to “TRUMBO”. A Holllywood screenwriter who is played by Bryan Cranston … and utterly refused to sell out to the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 50’s. I’m going to look out for the show on HBO….. and of course,…
Director John Gray of the Smithsonian’s American History Museum had a special treat for me. He showed me the ‘OFFICE” display on the Innovations floor — in Washington, D.C. — and of course I had to have a picture. Don’t mind my wild suit. As I look at the tame gray ‘power suit’ behind me,…
