Some knew this happened in the 1970s and it took affect right away. Some people just stopped talking to me altogether. It was like losing sponsorship. Two of those people who lost interest were Marc Zicree and Michael Reaves* both WGA people. They themselves no longer wanted to be seen chatting with me in public places. Someone must have flipped that switch because things were TOO DANGEROUS for me to continue as a “future executive producer” for real in places. Also, people were trying to hostage me to all kinds of companies begging for money. My own parents and family members disappeared. I was told they were being held and even tortured for money connected to me. This may be WHY there was a “Donna” at Stephen Cannell’s production company who was “aware of me” yet also threatened me to “stay away”. I do not remember the timing of things. Which came first? Meeting up at Stephen Cannell’s offices or becoming an influencer.
*I didn’t really get to chat with them much in life. Caught up again on very different terms within the last decade or so around the Hollywood Table, Space Command and dink-ing around with Blood Kiss. Nothing really going on. They handled me like a clueless, not-well-connected person. Which I was! I have been in the wilderness for decades to be honest.
