I live in West Los Angeles, and have in surrounding communities since 1963. My travels have been limited to the States due to work in the fashion garment industry. FAMILY: Was married to Don Brewer in 1966, and have two sons, Patrick, and Michael, both in the entertainment field. Don and I were divorced in 1972. Patrick is married, no children, and Michael was married,and divorced, no children. I was an illegally adopted child, and in 1995 found my birth family in Mississippi. Both sides of my family have accepted me, and I now have 3 younger brothers, and a younger sister, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. We all look alike which I find strange after so many years of just looking like me. CAREER: After finishing at the U of A, came to L.A. and went to work as the youngest assistant buyer at The Broadway. From there I went to Robinsons, and then went into wholesale, working for some of Los Angeles top couturier designers such as Estevez/Gabor, Roth-Le Cover, Gene Roye, Moschery, and Entre de Modes. Became a Merchandiser for these firms, working closely with the designer in selecting fabrics, styling, and then traveling to diffrent market locations five times a year (New York, Dallas, Atlanta, and L.A.) to present these Collections to the store buyers. I also traveled to diferent stores across the country doing in store trunk shows. PET PEEVE: Right now my biggest pet peeve is the influx of foreign drivers in L.A. who don't follow the rules of the road and who park in front of fire hydrants, or in red or yellow zones. AVOCATION: Didn't have time to develop any hobbies, or play sports as I was always on the move, however, I am an avid reader of World War II history (thank you Miss Grace Hendon). |
