Contributed dirt:
He started out working for London Records years ago.
You know, Montavani and all those snoozers. Then worked
for Al Green and Doobie Brothers as a road manager of
some kind. Then he started a bogus charity organization
to honor old aging Hollywood movie stars which eventually
morphed into the American Cinema Awards Foundation.
In Beverly Hills, in the 80's, he put on some of the
biggest tribute (non-televised) award shows at the Beverly
Wilshire and Beverly Hilton. They were supposed to raise
money for the Motion Picture Hospital and Retirement
Home in Woodland Hills. Have to admit they were the
campiest and most wonderful events as every big name
in the movies (especially the old stars who were still
alive) would show up at these things. Behind the scenes
he was psychotic and abusive to all who worked for him.
He burned so many bridges in LA he moved to New York
and the rest is history and Liza's worst nightmare.
And yes, he was always ugly and weird and mean as a
snake. He bragged that he used Michael Jackson's
plastic surgeon to make him look so good. He actually
thinks he looks good and actualy thinks he's important.
I don't think he got that everyone was laughing at him
behind his back. Probably still doesn't.
