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.

I definitely made a reference to Cooper Nielsen the other day, to a room full of blank faces. I would have chalked myself up to mentioning the unmentionable from eight years ago, but now I don’t have to, because this is happening. Ethan Steifel will reprise the role; relief! I feel up to date again.

Plus, this is one of the better nonsensical-yet-triumphant final performance scenes from any teen movie ever. Please note the seductive seizure moves happening around 6:00.
