    “The more I know, the more I know none of us know a damn thing when it comes to Hollywood. The wise and searingly funny producer, Lynda Obst (may she rest!), knew this better than anyone. I give this memoir and Hollywood handbook from the 90s to any woman I know who is making her way into “The Biz” today. Nuggets include “Ride the Horse in the Direction it’s Going” and “Thou shalt not cry at work.””
