Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

Little boy, you’re a man, little man, you’re a king.

Wow, I’m really on the theater beat today—I’ve been writing about a Broadway star this weekend and these things are just coming to me through osmosis. Anyway, LOOK:

“A casting call reveals that the Broadway revival of West Side Story, to be directed by the show’s librettist, Arthur Laurents, will begin previews on Broadway in early Feb 2009, at a theatre to be announced. Joey McKneely will recreate Jerome Robbins’s original choreography. (Robbins died in 1998.)”

Um, Arthur Laurents wrote that ish and will direct it again at 90 YEARS OLD. Some people are just exceptional.
