- Is a huge fan of "Law & Order". She visited the set one day and asked for a role on the show. The producers cast her in the (semi-recurring) role of Judge Janice Goldberg.
- Celebrated humorist/essayist. Her first collection of satirical essays, "Metropolitan Life," was a huge success; critics compared her to Dorothy Parker and H. L. Mencken. Was expelled from high school; earned a general equivalency diploma. Her quick wit gave her entry into New York City's "inner circle" which included a friendship with artist Andy Warhol. Warhol's support opened the door for her writing career, where she first worked as a film critic.
