Wow.
But that was five years later.
Okay.
Well, you try to get into an agent's office and you couldn't get past the receptionist.
They would throw your 8x10 glossy into the wastebasket.
So finally, I did get a meeting with an agent.
And I showed him my scrapbook from UCLA reviews.
And he said, that's nice.
Well, let me know when you're in something.
I said, how do I get in something if I don't have an agent?
Right.
And he said, go put on your own show.
I went back to the club, called a meeting with all the girls.
I said, we're going to put on a show.
Some of the older girls went, oh, for God's sake.
There were about 20 of us.
And we wrote and came up with the idea to how to do it.
Uh-huh.
And we showed the first act to the rich ladies who sponsored the club.
They gave us $200 to rent the Carl Fisher Concert Hall on a certain night.
