Honey Bunnies, you can make it happen. In return I promise you a page turning, sassy, Hollywood insider’s view of pillow talk, industry politics, and a particular church I call “Clientology” — so as not to incur the wrath directed at a wonderful documentary-maker who currently has a project airing on HBO…
