What's your favorite showbiz moment?

I was called into an audition for a Miller Lite commercial. Errol Morris (oscar winning documentary director) himself was conducting the audtion.

How would you describe your time at Emmanuel College, Boston, MA?

Marjorie is unlike anyone else I know. She's vivacious, smart, fun-loving and festive. She's at home in nearly any situation, and is invariably dressed to impress.

I worked with Marj at Time Warner where she did extensive research on behalf of the company and our clients. She researched and proved claims of very high dollar amounts, saving the company and our clients money. A very dedicated person who is very thorough and a pleasure to work with and know.
