A Little Bit About Me (a/k/a anecdotes that get me through cocktail parties)

I was born and raised on the Upper East Side of New York, as was my mother.  She grew up in one of, in my opinion, the truly great buildings in New York: 1088 Park Avenue.  When I was six weeks old, we moved to Los Angeles for a year. Mummy, a died in the wool New Yorker, took a very dim view of that year but remained friends with the wife of the couple next door, with whom they discovered that frozen fruit and gin when put into a blender became - a Fruitini, for the rest of her life.  Apparently, Judy, from next door's mother proclaimed me to be the most adorable baby she had ever seen. It could've been the gin - but Judy's mom was Loretta Young.
