Mar 2012

I used to know her. She lived in a small, cheesy, one-bedroom apartment in the Bay Area. She didn't get any royalties for her acting or singing film work. She used all her money to sue David Geffin. She lost to his top-notch lawyers and then she was blackballed from Hollywood. She could never get a job again. It was really sad. People in the Bay Area still recognized her and would come up all the time telling her how talented she was and asking for autographs. She was always so gracious. It was heartbreaking. She was in her early 30's then and all used up.
