chain because they're so replaceable.
Except for someone like Woody Allen,
they have no control over what hap-
pens to their material.

JN: Describe the Hollywood class
system.
DC: Agents and actors are at the top
of the hierarchy of executives.
Unfortunately, a lot of those agents
care more about decorating their
offices than the product.

JN: According to the conversations in
your book, there are few likable people
in Hollywood. Jonathan Prince, for
example, remarks, "That is one stupid
Jew. I'm surprised they even allow him
into shul on the High Holly Days."
And on the next page, after hustling a
waiter, he utters, "You're getting to see
a real Jew in action."
DC: Those are direct quotes, and
there's no exaggeration.

JN: You're Jewish, and you're married
to a non-Jew. Does he agree with you
on the pervasive Jewish culture in the
movie industry?
DC: Yes, he's even learned some
Yiddish. ❑

JN: If you sold your novel to the
movies, would you want to write the
screenplay?
DC: No, and I'll never write about
Hollywood again.

JN: Do you feel relieved to have writ-
ten this expose?
DC: Yes. I worked for 25 years in the
business starting as a secretary, then a
writer and television producer. I'm
familiar with all the moves. I feel like
an anthropologist. I know what makes
these people tick and I don't want to
be around it anymore.

JN: Is that why you moved from
Beverly Hills to Santa Barbara?
DC: If you're not in the movie industry;
there's no point in living [around
Hollywood]. I'm not in the business
anymore. The process does not encour-
age good movies. I worked for Disney
for three years. I did movies of the week.
Too many of executives tell you how to
change things. Everything sounds the
same and you end up with nothing you
began with. You have to accept that
going in. It's called selling your soul.

Artist Lois Teicher's "Curved Form with Rectangle and Space" is a "metaphorical
expression of fiindamental dynamics found in the natural world and in the human
experience." Its curved form mimics the curvature of the earth, sun and moon,
with their endless evolutionary cycles, says the Dearborn-based artist. The sculpture,
located adjacent to the Scarab Club on John R and Farnsworth in Detroit, is part
of Hudson's Project Imagine, an attempt to introduce more outdoor art to downtown
Detroit. It was unveiled on Sept. 14, as a kickoff to last weekend's Detroit Festival
of the Arts. Teicher, who is Jewish, intends her sculpture to "echo the creative,
intellectual and cultural energy of this area."
