Exactly!!! Yes, my grandmother always spoke about Hedda Hopper….like she was the word of GOD!

Ha! You got so lost in the Shirley MacLaine story you forgot about us lol!!! Awesome to meet your Publicist! Your War on War campaign really sounds all so exciting! Michael Buckley must be stoked he’s a judge with so many INCREDIBLE people! I was just going to say he needs a publicist but lo and behold I just noticed he just did! lol

Is getting a client to do the vlog thing part of a publicist’s job also I wonder? I mean it is a form of publicity after all.

What a cool job…is too late for me at 43 to change careers?????

MidgeDog April 26, 2008 at 10:22 am

David was a very interesting Friend Friday – thanks Sam. Great to see that despite all that baby poop and spit-up, you still seem so full of energy and happiness. Take care Jen x

If memory serves me well… The columnists, mega-power-of-the-poison-pens, were Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons, respectively. Both were very strong women who held a lot of the stars’ careers in their hands. A lot of the up and coming actors were terrified of these women!

SamHarrisCOM April 26, 2008 at 12:49 pm

never!

I could hardly wait to get back!

SamHarrisCOM April 26, 2008 at 12:50 pm

I’m not sure David knows this – can’t WAIT to tell him!

SamHarrisCOM April 26, 2008 at 12:51 pm

Well, of course!! I know ALL the Lucy episodes! Yes, would love to do one with Michael – but I’m afraid he likes his anonymity. Someday…. also, he does not live in Los Angeles.

You have a fine ear, Sam. This was a great blog with David. “Lust” is tame compared to the name Hedda Hopper! : ) Wow, Shirley McLaine! It is interesting how his job came to him. I agree with Vicki, a friend friday with the creative and elusive man behind the curtain /webmaster, Michael!

Love and Hugs~ Tresa

Great EAR Sam – heh heh!! Thanks for sharing your EAR with us! You have a great EAR for music, a great EAR for listening and a great EAR for showing us Vloggers!

Sam, at least David was well framed!!! You have such a cute ear, and considering your a new dad and tired, it was a marvelous interview as always!!!
