No ‘real’ men in Los Angeles
In his article “Love in La La Land” ( Feb. 13), James Verini states, “Los Angeles, the city of illusion, a Barnum and Bailey town, yes, but -- if you believe in it -- a city of romance too.” Really? Well, I happen to have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn for this guy.
I have lived in Los Angeles all of my adult life and fit into Mr. Verini’s classification of “pro.” I’m a 10-year screenwriting veteran. In spite of the fact that I am a highly desirable catch for any man in Los Angeles, this successful woman’s experience is that the Guidos of Los Angeles never have the epiphany Mastroianni has in the film “8 1/2.”
Mr. Verini, you would do a great service to your female readers by advising them to look outside of Los Angeles for a “real” man.
