I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.īig Star invented a vision of bohemian rock & roll cool that had nothing to do with New York, Los Angeles or London, which made them completely out of style in the 1970s, but also made them an inspiration to generations of weird Southern kids. Great food, great music, really nice people. The beaches are beautiful so is the weather.

You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.Įventually I did that, but it took a lot of twists and turns, and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home, no car, no nothing. I always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up, and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business.

I've been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It's an isolated city in that respect because you're driving to places alone listening to the radio. As far as loneliness, I feel Los Angeles and its layout, having to drive everywhere - it is a lonely place.
