Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Matt Rolloff's DUI - any lawyers around?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Speaking of dwarfs, I met Tattoo of 'Fantasy' Island once while working for 
Hearst, out in the San Fernando Valley. A sad story, believe me. Norman Lear 
was casting the show, and one of his usual suspects found this little French 
dwarf, Herve,?in some Hollywood flop-house, not a dime to his name.

He was really smart, talented, and could remember his lines, so he was hired 
for $25K a week. All went well for Herve until he started thinking with the 
wrong head, and met this 6'1" beautiful brunette. They were married a few weeks 
later. He was really in 'love.' 

Once she was his wife, she convinced him that $25K a week was an insult to 
him,?his family, and he was worth double that, as he was really the 
co-star.?So, he?started hounding Lear for more money and finally walked off the 
set, saying that the show would fold without him, and he wouldn't come back for 
less than $50k a week. 

Lear fired him, almost on the spot and wrote him out of the show. That was the 
last real gig that Herve ever had. His beloved wife then promptly dumped his 
sorry French ass, divorced him and got almost all his money in the settlement. 
(why do this sound so familiar?)

Anyway, the reason that I met poor Herve was that he came into one of the 
newspapers that I was helping run, distributed to Toluca Lake, where Bob Hope 
and many Hollywood stars lived and took out a full page ad,?saying that the 
happy couple had had a 'tiff,' but were back together again, and will live 
happily ever after. It even had a large photo of the marriage ceremony, with 
Herve standing there, big smile on his face, almost reaching up to her 
rib-cage. 

A day after the paper came out, who should storm into the newspaper office, but 
the ex-Mrs. Herve, shaking a copy of the?ad in her hand, wanting to see Mr. 
Hearst. Pissed-off isn't strong enough for her mood. She screamed that if we 
didn't run a BIG front page retraction and apology, that, by God, she'd own 
this newspaper next week. (her words!)?

The upshot, you ask? Well, the ad salesman was fired, we did run a nice 
reteaction on the front page, and poor little Herve, who really was a nice guy, 
when out to?his poolside patio on a beautiful star lit night, drank half a 
bottle of his beloved Moet Brut, lit up a big Havana ... and blew his brains 
all over the patio. End of story.

Ya know, sometimes life just ain't fair.? --? Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba
