I went to add her on Facebook and saw she had a wikipedia entry. She really played down the writing thing.

I know her husband. He's an actor. Just had scenes with Johnny Depp in the Whitey Bulger movie.
You almost feel like a loser having a real job after talking to these guys Living out their dreams and all. Lovely people.

Whitey: NO WAY.
Cop: Gotcher.
Whitey: Dang it all.
Fin.

Why would you bother watching it now?
