Young and naive as I was, I set out to see the world. Little did I know what was to come.
I traversed the peaks and valleys in the rugged Alborz Mountains north of Teheran
Surveyed Teheran from the rooftops
Even survived the wilds of the Beirut nightlife in the Cave du Rois
Back in New York, I was the only known person who refused to write a screenplay. All that was about to change as Hollywood beckoned. Even the riots, uprisings and adventures I had lived through in the Middle East could never have prepared me for this jungle.
But an angel awaited. Lolly had the playful spirit of a nature pixie, the heart of a saint, and the courage of a lion. She always knew when I was down and gave me a hug. She knew a good script as I did coverage for the director. She was the sweetest, most wonderful friend anyone could ever have.
