Although the title may appear a bit spicy or sexy; this is a human-interest story illuminating the entertainment industry and based on personal experiences. It reflects on certain stereotypes, my relatives and immediate family's long background in TV & film since the 1920s, and my own career and decisions. And, a little romance. It does discuss a wide variety of mature issues implicated in 'Hollywood', and in the related modeling, and the publishing commerce, that 'plagued' the businesses.
