This is me, trying to get people to read my blog (see the video from my Instagram page, below). Here, in “The Day of the Locust,” Burgess Meredith as former Vaudeville entertainer, Harry Greener, roams Hollywood Hills, door to door, trying to sell health tonic. The movie is adapted from writer Nathaniel West’s novel.
Actually, when I first moved to LA from the Bay Area, with a dream of being a Hollywood actress, my life was not too far off from that of the character Faye Greener; though I wisely avoided some of the things she allowed herself to get pulled into. I write about that experience in my book, “Craving Normal.” See, I’m hocking my blog and book like I’m going door to door selling health tonic – “A little bottle of magic”.
