First, the miracle: In my 80s, I have become a TikTok sensation with over 400,000 followers. I’m still trying to understand how this happened. I suspect it’s because I’m funny, wise, and inspiring.
As an actress, I was the recurring Doris Klompus on Seinfeld, and I have performed my solo shows on three continents. (I do solo shows because I want to be sure that I am mentioned in the reviews.)
As a writer, I have written humorous essays for The NY Times, LA Times, NPR’s Morning Edition, and many more. My previous book was BARGAIN JUNKIE: Living the Good Life on the Cheap.
I am proud to be a Moth Mainstage storyteller, and can be heard on www.TheMoth.org. I will be teaching a class in Writing and Performing the Personal Humorous Essay at Emerson College in LA, and I also coach people privately on storytelling technique.
I’ve been interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, Tavis Smiley, and Dr. Phil. Miracles never cease.
