Audrey Hepburn in “Funny Face” was stunning in front of camera of her fashion photograph, Fred Astaire. She was most magnificent when she walked down the stairs in the Louve while holding a red scarf that floated up like a parachute. “Hello, Audrey!” Her face, charm, and style made her an international [...]

Stage fright can paralyze the whole body. Remember Shirley Jones in The Partridge Family when her character had to sing for the first time? She got lockjaw and couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe!
Stage frights isn’t something I understand because I love to be on stage! We just had another family cruise, and guess who came in [...]

“Forget it– it never happened!”
How many times have we heard that from dysfunctional or unethical people? (Or at least in TV, movies, and books?)
If you’re like an elephant, you never forget anything. Some people can hold onto a grudge longer than a parent who reminds a daughter how she ruined Thanksgiving in 1942 by [...]

Kiefer Sutherland’s TV hit, 24, is truly whacked– as in whack everyone in the head. I’ve never seen so many people knocked out in any show. It’s so medically unrealistic: they’re all clearly suffering concussions, yet they function at a high level when they regain consciousness. But then again, Jack Bauer has died twice [...]

As much fun as I thought Anna Nicole Smith was, let’s face it: she wouldn’t have married a man 63 years older than she was (wasn’t he 88 when she pushed his wheelchair down the aisle?) if he weren’t a billionaire. (On the flip side, he [...]

Sleepy? My best friend in medical school and I used to study in the basement of the medical school library. The desks were like little cubicles to ensure privacy, although they made me feel like a horse with blinders on.

iTouch and iPhone have some competition now: myTouch.

Stroke of luck. Have you had any lately? I don’t know the last time I was affected by a stroke of luck. I golfed my entire childhood and always tried to keep my strokes down, but it seemed it was always the last three holes that destroyed my score. Michael Phelps had amazing strokes [...]

Sex causes a major headache for many people. John Edwards finally admitted to have sex with another woman, while his wife battles breast cancer. Hopefully, the main reason he has a headache now is that his wife conked him on the head.

Hayden Panettiere, the auto-regenerating cheerleader from Heroes, is Ms. Paparazzi Queen! You know you’re hot stuff when you’re filmed and photographed while getting a mani-pedi. On one episode, while painting her toenails, Hayden cut off her pinky toe to see if it would regenerate— which it did, just like a starfish!
Now, I’ve [...]

Eighties music will live in my heart like a Celine Dion song. Okay, ix-nay on the eline-Cay ion-Day part. My mother sang opera before she went to medical school, and so I was raised on classical music. Rock and roll music made my mother swoon-while singing a high C-aaaaaah! So I didn’t really get [...]

Tension can be a good thing. A tightrope walker needs a good tense rope. Tension in the theater can make the difference between a B movie and an A movie.

Penny pinching is no longer just a memory of the ’30s and the Great Depression.

Vincent van Gogh is one of my favorite painters of all time. He was so ahead of his time that he didn’t know his “Starry Night” painting would look like a type of lymphoma under the microscope!
It’s so sad van Gogh didn’t make money with his paintings. In fact, rumors abound that he sold [...]

I would never survive in jail. When I was a UVA fellow, I interviewed at the local jail for a moonlighting position. I suddenly related to my mother’s experience as medical resident in NYC when she had to help at the local lock-up. Whooping, hollering (unlike Gwen Stefani, who ain’t no Hollaback Girl), and name-calling– [...]
Dr. Christopher Winter came for lunch and told us about all sorts of sleeping problems. He said his office lobby is filled with patients who are snoring, bobbing their heads up and down– struggling to stay awake, drooping eyes red as Darth Maul’s. Hmm, sounds like my dinner parties. Maybe he should play techno dance [...]

During my first year in medical residency in Los Angeles, we experienced an earthquake that rocked my world. Well, actually at the time I was visiting my significant other at UVA, but when I returned to LA, I had the unfortunate thrill of experiencing after-shocks.
