Billboard Lesson 1 - The Monday Morning Memo

“Hollywood money isn't money. It's congealed snow, melts in your hand and there you are. I can't talk about Hollywood. It was a horror to me when I was there and it's a horror to look back on. I can't imagine how I did it. When I got away from it I couldn't even refer to the place by name. ‘Out there,' I called it. You want to know what ‘out there' means to me? Once I was coming down a street in Beverly Hills and I saw a Cadillac about a block long, and out of the side window was a wonderfully slinky mink, and an arm, and at the end of the arm a hand in a white suede glove wrinkled around the wrist, and in the hand was a bagel with a bite out of it.”

- Dorothy Parker, from an interview published in the Paris Review, 1956
