Acknowledgments

F
IRST AND
foremost, I must acknowledge that this book would have never happened had my dear friend Michael Broussard not pestered me relentlessly to write down some of my best dinner party stories so he could pitch a book idea. He, along with my dream team at Simon Spotlight Entertainment—Jen Bergstrom; Jen Robinson; Michael Nagin; Martha Schwartz; Jennifer Weidman; and my amazing editor, Ursula Cary—worked tirelessly to bring it all to fruition.

I want to thank Dave Morgan and his team at Reaction Marketing along with my dear, longtime manager, Billy Miller, for arranging the original thirty-city tour to promote the book.

Thanks also to my twin sisters, Janet and Cricket Jordan, for working so hard to find great pictures to spice things up!

Big kisses to the fabulous photographer Jim Cox for allowing me to use that great picture of me on a park bench gazing longingly at my handsome friend Brannon Purvis on the grounds of the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs.

And last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank my spiritual adviser, Don Norman, for his constant and astute advice on “trudging the road of happy destiny.”
