Could my whole life just be a bunch of flash in a darkened room? If so, give credit for most of them to © David Pearson, a silent film scholar.

1939

Grandma was persuaded to relocate in Los Angeles.

	1965 I was named for one actor and reincarnated from another.
	1973 I lived in the haze of innocence.
	1979 I dreamed of a romantic world.
	1983 I thought I was very smart.
	1987 Berkeley took care of that.
	1989 The energy of Los Angeles gave me hope for the future...
	1991 ...and almost buried me again in madness.
	1996 I accepted the contradictions of this world.
	2001 Now I'm as sophisticated as hell...
	2006 ...And ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.
