The Perfect Cosmetic Surgery Procedure Can Help Create The Perfect You 

by Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D. 

Now is the best time to schedule that cosmetic surgery procedure that 

you deserve. The warm weather is here and bathing suits and shorts 

are part of our wardrobe. Why not look the best you can now and be 

able to flaunt that new body? We all know that those summer fashions 

can look even better with a slimmer look, a younger appearance or a 

body contoured to show off those curves. If you feel that you want to 

look better, slimmer and younger, consider the cosmetic surgery 

procedure that will allow you to achieve the 

look you desire. Whether opting for a surgical or non-surgical 

procedure, the result can be a beautiful and natural look. 

Consider breast augmentation or breast lift to help improve your look 

and turn some heads at the pool or on the beach this summer! 

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery 

procedures and women report an increase in self confidence 

following the procedure as they feel younger and more attractive. 

You will see an impressive change, especially if you have had children and would like to 

restore a more youthful contour. 

Liposuction is a perfect solution for those who would like to reshape specific areas of their 

bodies. Some people just can not lose fat in those areas no matter how much they diet or 

exercise, making this the perfect procedure. Recommended for both men and women who 

are looking to eliminate those bothersome areas, liposuction is often focused on thighs, 

hips, abdomen, back and upper arms. Many men have eliminated those ‘love handles’ and 

can now feel better about showing off their slimmer bodies! Consider SmartLipo MPX and 

Zerona TM in combination or alone, to melt away excess fat and inches quickly, efficiently, 

and with little pain. 

Good Advice 

Be proud of your body this 

summer. Now is the time to have 

that cosmetic surgery procedure 

that will have you looking as hot 

as the weather.

The popularity of aesthetic services continues to grow as more and more people are taking 

advantage of the new options available to reduce lines and wrinkles without surgery. 

Exciting new products including Dysport, a wrinkle relaxer, and injectables such as Restylane ® 

containing lidocaine, have expanded the market and increased the options available to 

those seeking immediate results with significant reductions in facial lines and wrinkles. If 

cosmetic surgery is not the best plan for you at this time, there are alternatives available. 

The combination of the “Liquid Facelift” of injectable products, such as Restylane ® , 

Botox ® Cosmetic or Juvéderm, coupled with micro-dermabrasion, 

PhotoRejuvenation, peels and laser hair removal, will dramatically 

improve your appearance. Another simple way to help improve your 

appearance and reduce the signs of aging is to use the revolutionary 

skin care system, Cosmetic Surgeon in a Jar TM . These products are 

specifically designed to reverse sun and free radical damage, enhance 

elasticity and produce a younger look and a reduction in fine lines and 

wrinkles. 

Remember it is the combination of surgery and healthy living that will keep you in your best 

possible shape and the proper mix of procedures that guarantees a successful improvement 

in appearance. What better time than now to get back into your ideal summer shape? 

Dr. Stephen Greenberg is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery. He is 

director of New York’s Premier Center for Plastic Surgery with offices in Woodbury and Manhattan.

Breast Surgery Combined with Tummy Tuck and/or Liposuction 

by Charlotte Rhee, MD, F.A.C.S., P.C. 

Many of my patients come to me seeking help with the changes that 

can occur after childbirth. Following childbirth, a woman’s breast can 

grow to uncomfortable proportions or just the opposite can happen. A 

woman’s breast can actually lose volume and shrink, resulting in the 

breast appearing “deflated”. 

Additionally, a large number of women come to me seeking help with 

the post partum changes of their abdomen. During pregnancy the skin 

and abdominal wall muscles are stretched. Following childbirth, the abdomen can protrude

who have breast 

surgery also have other 

procedures performed at 

the same time. This 

allows for one surgery 

and one recovery 

advertisement 

and the skin can be loose or sag. In some cases, the abdominal muscles can 

be so weakened that the individual may look like she is still pregnant. Despite 

daily workouts including sit ups and crunches, a tummy tuck may be needed 

to restore these muscles. 

Breast Reduction 

Women with very large pendulous breasts may experience varied medical 

problems including back and neck pain. Also, the weight of large breasts can 

cause the bra straps to dig into the shoulders leaving groove markings. Large 

breasts get in the way of physical activities such as running, making exercise 

and weight loss very difficult if not impossible. Breast reduction (reduction 

mammaplasty), is a surgical procedure which makes breasts smaller. 

There are many different breast reduction techniques. The more traditional method (inverted T- 

scar) leaves the breasts with a vertical, long horizontal scar (along the breast crease). “I utilize the 

Lejour technique, which leaves the breast with a single vertical incision (lollipop scar) and, in my 

opinion, with a rounder more natural appearing breast and a better cosmetic result.” Breast reductions 

are performed as an outpatient procedure and are covered by insurance. 


Women who come to me seeking breast enlargement have very similar goals to those seeking 

breast reduction. Both groups of women want to have breasts that are proportional to their 

body size with the most natural result possible. In certain situations, a breast lift is also needed 

to tighten lax skin. The laxity can be the result of pregnancy or weight loss. When a breast 

lift is needed, I utilize the lollipop scar technique. A breast lift procedure is very similar to a 

breast reduction. The only difference is that with a breast reduction, breast tissue is removed. 

Combined Breast/Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures. 

Many of my patients who have breast surgery also have other procedures performed at the 

same time. This allows for one surgery and one recovery. The most common combined procedures 

performed by Dr. Rhee are breast surgery, whether it is a breast 

reduction or augmentation, combined with tummy tuck, also known as 

abdominoplasty. For those patients who desire breast augmentation together 

with a tummy tuck, I am able to place the breast implants through the 

tummy tuck incision, leaving the breasts without any scars. 

Liposuction is also commonly performed at the same time. Despite diet and 

exercise, certain areas of the body are prone to carry excess fat. For these 

areas, liposuction can help. The most common areas for liposuction are the 

love handles (upper hip area) and thighs. 

Patients who have combined procedures do surprisingly well. In addition to 

having the benefit of just one recovery process, there can also be a significant 

savings in price. 

To learn more, please call our Huntington office to schedule a complimentary consultation 

with Dr. Rhee at (631) 424-6707. Located at 33 Walt Whitman Rd., Suite 228, Huntington.

Executive Director, Huntington Arts Council 

How long have you lived on Long Island? What do you 

like best about living here? 

I moved to Long Island from St. Louis 14 years ago. There 

are so many things to love about Long Island, including my 

immediate community of Huntington, the kindness of 

Long Islanders, the ocean and the small villages. I love the 

arts, and we have so many options on Long Island: world 

class museums, resident artists, outdoor art fairs and, of 

course, live music. 

How long have you worked for the Huntington Arts 

Council? 

I started out as the Council's program director and then 

became Executive Director in 2000. I love the variety of my 

job. One day I’ll be exhibit loading into one of our two galleries, 

another day working on programming the 

Huntington Summer Arts Festival, another day advising 

artists when they come to visit us at the Arts Council. 

Tell me a little about the mission and programs of HAC. 

The Huntington Arts Council enriches the quality of life 

of Long Islanders with programs and services that address 

the needs and interests of artists, cultural organizations 

and the community. Our programs serve more than one 

million Long Islanders each year. 

Tell me about your Summer Arts Festival? 

This summer is the 45th season! The Festival began on 

the steps of Heckscher Museum, and I’m told that audience 

members would light up the stage with their car 

headlights. This summer, we plan to entertain and educate 

more than 50,000 individuals with music from the Jimmy 

Heath Quartet, GE Smith, Raul Midon, Jen Chapin, and the 

Long Island Philharmonic, to name just a few artists. All 

the concerts are free. It’s going to be a fantastic summer! 

For more information, visit huntingtonarts.org. 

you’re an opera aficionado or if you’ve never 

seen an opera in your life, experiencing the 

stunning Met productions is truly spectacular. 

Close-up camera shots, backstage interviews 

with performers, directors, conductors, and 

other artistic personnel during intermissions, 

and tickets that cost only $20 make this a 

truly unique experience. You can even feast 

on popcorn while watching the performance! 

This summer, the Met will feature encore 

performances at movie theaters in Westbury, 

Farmingdale, and Port Washington, including 

Aida on Wednesday, June 16 at 6:30 p.m., 

Carmen on Wednesday, July 28 at 6:30 p.m.,

Comprehensive Solutions for Breast Restoration after Cancer Treatment 

by Dr. Stephen U. Harris M.D., FACS 

Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or the 

risk of cancer, or that has been deformed by treatment of a previous 

breast cancer (such as lumpectomy and radiation) is one of the most 

rewarding surgical procedures available today. New surgical techniques 

and devices have made it possible to create a breast that can come close 

in form and appearance to matching a natural breast. 

Along with the most common indication, the reconstruction of a breast 

immediately after mastectomy, surgical techniques are available to correct a deformity related 

to breast conservation therapy or postoperative radiation, improve the results 

of an unsatisfactory breast reconstruction, salvage a failed breast reconstruction, 

or create a breast in a delayed fashion months or years after mastectomy. 

Some women choose either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction following 

mastectomy. Sometimes the result is less than expected, with asymmetry, 

poor breast shape, implant firmness or contracture, implant deformity, poor 

nipple projection, or poor areola definition. Rarely, the chosen reconstructive 

techniques fail completely. While the patients’ anatomy often limits the degree 

of symmetry, women need to be aware that additional surgery may significantly 

improve the result, providing a significant boost of self-esteem. Evaluation and treatment to 

improve results can be done months or even years after the primary reconstructive surgery. 

One of the newer advances in reconstructive surgery after breast cancer treatment involves 

fat grafting. In this procedure, fat is removed from donor areas of the body, such as the 

abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs, and grafted into the breast. The most common indication 

for this procedure is to soften the interface between an implant used for breast reconstruction 

and the surrounding soft tissues. Fat can also be added to a tissue-based reconstruction to

soften contours or to enlarge the breast mound. 

State and Federal law mandate that reconstructive breast surgery for correction of deformity or 

asymmetry after breast cancer surgery be covered by health insurance plans. 

With the introduction of genetic testing for mutations in the BRCA gene, many women with 

strong family history of breast cancer or women who have developed breast cancer at a relatively 

young age, can be tested to determine if a known genetic mutation may explain the 

clinical situation. Since the lifetime risk of developing breast cancer in women with BRCA 

mutations is much higher than the average woman, risk-reducing surgery to remove the 

breasts prophylactically (to prevent cancer) is often performed. Primary consultation 

with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast reconstructive 

techniques is important to allow women to understand the level of 

cosmetic outcomes achievable in each case. Comprehensive multidisciplinary 

care (including discussion with a gynecologist regarding management of the 

ovaries) allows women with a BRCA mutation to make informed decisions 

regarding her options. 

The right reconstructive choice is based on the individual patients’ anatomy, 

the individual patients’ expectations, and a customized evaluation of the 

risks and benefits of each procedure. At Harris Plastic Surgery, our staff strives to provide 

expert and compassionate care to women considering the many options for reconstruction 

after mastectomy, patients who have had breast reconstruction in the past with unsatisfactory 

results, or women with BRCA mutations who are considering risk reduction prophylactic 

bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. I invite you to read my blog, Building Breasts, at

The Latest Advance In Facial Plastic Surgery: Microfat Transfer 

by James C. Marotta, MD 

In the past 15 years there has been a veritable revolution in the way that 

facial plastic surgeons think about facial aging. We used to think that facial 

aging was only about sagging tissues and gravity, but in reality that’s only 

half the problem. The other major contributor to looking old is the loss of 

facial fat. 

FACIAL AGING - LOSING FACIAL FAT 

Unlike other parts of the body which seem to get heavier as we age, the face actually loses 

fat in its natural “fat pads.” Think about the face of a baby versus that 

of a 90 year old. The baby’s face is pleasingly plump and cherubic. It 

has “baby fat. ”The 90 year old’s face, on the other hand, is characteristically 

drawn and gaunt. Some elderly faces appear skeleton-like, 

with loss of fat in the temples, under the eyes, and in the cheeks. An 

excellent analogy I’ve heard is that when we’re born, we’re like 

grapes, with nice taught skin around a full center. But as we age, we 

lose our “stuffing” and turn into shriveled raisins. 

Though the process of losing facial fat is gradual and slow, it 

unfortunately starts very early - beginning in the mid to late 20s and continuing throughout 

life. I commonly see patients in their late 20s/early 30s who complain of looking tired 

or of “dark” circles under their eyes. These patients are noticing the very early changes in 

facial fat. It begins with loss of fat volume around the eyes in the 20s, progressing to the 

cheeks in the 30s - 50s, and finally to the brows and temples typically after 50. 

SOLVING THE PROBLEM – RESTORING VOLUME 

You may think, “If facial aging is about losing fat in our facial fat pads, why not add the 

“The ability to restore lost volume 

to the face with Microfat transfer 

is arguably the greatest advance 

in facial plastic surgery in 15 

years.” 

advertisement 

fat back?” That’s exactly what we do through a procedure called Facial Microfat 

Transfer. In this procedure, fat is gently liposuctioned through a small needle hole, typically 

from the abdomen but possibly also the inner or outer thighs. The fat is processed 

to increase its survival and is made to function essentially as a transplant of tiny (micro) 

fat droplets. The fat is then injected into the face to refill the natural fat pads under the 

eyes and in the cheeks, brows, and temples. It can also be used to fill in smile lines and 

help a sagging jawline. Fat is injected wherever needed to help reverse the process of 

facial aging. The ability to restore lost volume to the face with 

Microfat Transfer is arguably the greatest advance in facial plastic 

surgery in 15 years. 

Interested, but you still have some questions? Here are answers 

to the most common questions I get about Microfat Transfers: 

1. Will I have a “fat” face? No just enough fat is injected to restore 

the amount you lost in the aging process. 

2. Does it last? Microfat Transfer, when done utilizing the latest 

techniques, lasts for years just like other facial surgery. 

3. Is it smooth? Yes. The droplets of fat are tiny (“micro”) and, when injected, are 

smooth and undetectable. 

4. Does that mean I won’t need an eye, face, cheek or brow lift? That depends on the 

patient. Some patient’s facial aging can be improved with fat injections alone. When necessary, 

lifting procedures can be combined with fat injections to achieve even better 

results because both the loss of facial fat and sagging that cause facial aging are 

improved.

Style

Swimwear 

Flattering Styles for Every Shape 

Shopping for swimwear can be an unwanted rite of passage when the 

seasons change. Let’s face it; many of today’s suits are created for a teenage 

body, so having a real woman go out and make their way through the 

countless racks of tiny two pieces is not high on any woman’s priority list. 

Still, searching for the perfect summer suit doesn’t have to be an awful experience. 

Once you learn about your specific body type and what works best 

for you regarding color and style, you can turn the dreaded bathing suit 

shopping excursion into an uplifting experience – literally and figuratively. 

Stylist expert and author of new book How to Never Look Fat 

Again, Charla Krupp, says that, while shopping for 

a swimsuit has personally been a humiliating 

experience for many summers, she 

believes that you simply cannot buy a suit 

without trying it on. “If you have less than 

a model body, taking a chance on a suit 

without trying it on is a big mistake.” Krupp 

says that shape wear swimwear is the way 

to go. “The 

new kid on 

the block is 

Spanx. If you 

want to look 

slimmer at the 

beach or the 

pool without sacrificing 

an ounce of 

chic, these suits are for 

you. They compress just like 

their beloved shape wear but 

look cool, and are on trend and in fashion colors.” 

Tankini separates 

are the biggest 

selling type of 

suit of the 

season. 

Proper Fit 

Janice Mann, manager of Swimmer’s Choice in 

Syosset, says that a common mistake women make 

is getting a suit that is not tight fitting enough. 

“The tighter the fit, the longer it will last … if it’s 

too loose, the suit will fill up with water, stretch 

out faster and lose its shape.” She suggests a simple 

way to find proper fit. “A good guideline is to 

pull the shoulder straps up and see that they go no 

higher than the bottom of your ear, or else it’s too 

big.” 

Are You Wearing the Right Size? 

“Typically in swimwear, most women should go 

one size up from their standard size, so if you are a 

size 6, you might want to try a size 8 suit,” says Adam Moon, Fashion 

Director at Macy’s . “When trying on a suit, make sure the straps fit well. 

You should be able to fit one finger under the strap, but not much more 

than that or the suit might be too big.” He says to make sure the top is 

the right size and the sides are smooth with no bulging. “Bottoms should 

not sag in the back. If they do, try a smaller size. If they pinch or bulge, try 

a larger size,” he advises. 

Finding a Style 

Women need to look for the right suit to fit their specific body 

type. “Great styles for a small bust include bandeau tops, 

stripes, ruched cups or ruffles. For a larger bust, brasized 

swimwear is a good choice, as are wide 

straps, halters, square neck lines or surplice 

styles,” Moon explains. “For tummy concerns, 

try ruching, surplice styles, lighter 

patterned tops with darker bottoms, and 

suits with control fabric or babydoll tankinis.” 

Most women are concerned about 

the hip/rear/thigh area. For these women, 

skirted bottoms or swim dresses and bandeaus 

that attract attention to the shoulders 

and neck is often the best bet. 

Post Bikini Styles 

Comfort is key and there is no reason to 

feel compelled to fit into the dreaded bikini. 

Flattering suits come in all forms in 

today’s market, and when you are comfortable 

in your bathing suit, you are more 

likely to enjoy your beach and pool excursions, 

rather than feeling uncomfortable. For baby boomers who 

don’t necessarily want to wear bikinis anymore, Mann suggests 

a “meet and greet” tankini. “The bottom is full and comes up 

to the waist, and the top is long enough to go over the bottom 

(down to the hip), so that even if you lift your arms, no belly 

shows … yet, you have the comfort and ease of a twopiece’” 

she explains. 

Trends in 2010 

Moon agrees and says that tankini separates are 

the biggest selling type of suit of the season. 

“Newness this season is really in solids with 

detailing and ruching. In silhouette bandeau, 

one-pieces with ruching have been great and 

feel new. Faux tankinis (one-pieces that

Buyers Reyna Freeman and Jeni 

Hulick at California Sunshine in 

Riverhead confirm that one of the 

biggest trends in swimwear this 

year has been solids. “A lot of 

designers are offering a

colors. So no matter 

your skin tone color, 

you’ll be able to find a 

solid that will flatter

it’s important to remember

said, there are some features in suits that are flattering. A suit that has 

ruching down the front or side of a swimsuit hides a lot of sins.” 

When it comes to the color, black has been and 

continues to be a great color for hiding flaws,” 

says Hulick. When talking colors, it’s important 

to remember that every skin tone has variations 

of what complements it color wise. Freeman 

explains, “A lighter skin tone looks better in shades 

of blue or green, while a darker skin tone looks great 

in bright colors.” 

Attitude 

Bathing suit shopping is best explored with a positive 

attitude. There really is something for everyone, and 

women have to remain open minded that designers fit 

differently and size scales vary. The best tool in your arsenal 

might be your salesperson. “Allow a sales associate to help 

you. They see all types of women day in and day out in different 

swimwear,” says Hulick. “They have a vast knowledge when it comes to 

fitting customers, whether you’re a DD cup or a size 18.”◆

Treating Menopausal Symptoms with 

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine 

by Elana Omari, LAc 

Menopause is treated as 

a disease, when in fact it 

is a naturally occurring 

process. Conventional 

medicine only addresses 

various symptoms and 

signs associated with menopause. 

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine 

understand that symptoms 

are merely indications 

of an imbalance 

deep within the body. 

Menopause signifies “a 

change” within a 

woman's life due to a 

shift in body chemistry—a 

natural process. 

Estrogen is part of what Acupuncturists 

call “Body Essence.” It is like a gift given 

to us at the time of conception. When 

essence is abundant, our ability to fight 

disease, illness and stress is optimal. As 

we age, the supply of essence declines— 

our organ system becomes unbalanced 

leading to symptoms such as graying 

hair, loss of libido, weakness of knees,

urinary difficulty, memory loss, backache 

and fatigue. 

Another factor is the imbalance 

between yin and yang energy. Yin can 

be thought of as the cooling system of 

the body. When it declines, heat symptoms 

will naturally arise, leading to night 

sweats, restlessness, hot flashes, mood 

swings, heart palpitation 

and insomnia. The yang 

energy represents the 

warming and the metabolizing 

functions of the 

body. When it declines it 

will manifest with symptoms 

such as water retention, 

cold hands and feet, 

weight gain, edema, indigestion, hypertension, 

or raised cholesterol levels. 

When I’m treating menopausal symptoms 

I first determine where the imbalance 

lies and treat it successfully with 

various therapies such as acupuncture, 

herbs, diet, and cupping.

Good Advice 

What Can Digital Dentistry Do For You? 

Daniel J. Aldieri, DDS 

The exciting technological 

advances that have 

been made in the field of 

dentistry are nothing short 

of amazing. Many people 

are now enjoying their visits to the dentist 

thanks to digital technology which 

provides more conservative, less invasive, 

and more accurate results 

than ever before. Imagine 

going to the dentist and 

having a porcelain crown 

(cap) or filling completed 

in just one visit; no need 

to wear a temporary 

crown or return for a second appointment. 

Using CEREC (CAD) digital technology 

is what makes it all possible. 

What does CEREC (CEramic REConstruction) 

mean for you? CEREC uses a 

state-of-the-art digital 3D camera to create 

an optical impression of your tooth. While

you wait, exact design specifications are 

sent to an on-site milling machine to create 

your restoration. About 10 minutes later, 

your all-ceramic, color matched crown or 

filling is ready for placement and your 

tooth is restored to its natural beauty and 

function. This is a true revolutionary technology 

that will positively change your dental 

experience forever! 

Old or broken silver fillings 

on back teeth often 

make teeth appear dark 

and discolored. With 

CEREC Technology, these 

fillings can be replaced 

with all-ceramic tooth-colored onlays in 

one visit which can brighten up anyone’s 

smile.

Good Advice 

Consider This When Choosing Your Cosmetic Dentist 

Angela M. Ferrari, DDS 

Many patients arrive in our 

office avoiding eye contact 

and hiding their mouths with 

their hands. After cosmetic 

dental treatment, they leave 

with confidence, pride in their appearance, 

and a “radiance” about their beautiful 

smile. Cosmetic dental treatment has 

helped many patients feel 

great about themselves 

and enabled them to communicate 

with others in 

ways they never had 

before. Having a realistic 

expectation is very important 

for a cosmetic dental patient. We 

offer in-depth face-to-face consultations 

during which we review the patient’s diagnostic 

images to address their dental 

needs and better understand their vision 

for their customized “dream smile”. Two 

of the easiest ways to rejuvenate your 

smile are Zoom AP, 45 minute in-office

tooth whitening, and Invisalign. Another 

way to rejuvenate your smile is by straightening 

them. Invisalign is a clear form for 

braces that move your teeth into a 

straighter more youthful position. Both of 

these treatments are great! 

Sometimes the road to a fabulous smile 

may be short or have some benchmarks. 

Most importantly, it 

involves developing a relationship 

with a cosmetic 

dentist that has open lines 

of communication. Treatment 

of the gums, tooth 

position, color and shape, 

may be needed to get a person’s smile 

healthy and to esthetically achieve their 

goals. Every smile is special and unique and 

takes patience and confidence to build.

JACKIE OH! 

by David Lefkowitz 

My publisher said, “We have to take out all the 

four-letter words, or you’ll be banned …” So I 

took out all the four-letter words. And I was still 

banned … 

“Belle Svetlana surveyed her nude image in a full-length mirror, readying herself for 

a thirty-thousand-dollar-an-hour sexual encounter with the fifteen-year-old son of an 

Arab oil tycoon.” 

Who else in the universe would open a novel with that sentence but Jackie Collins? 

She’s the author of books so colorful and bawdy, fans have turned their pages to the 

tune of more than 400 million sold copies. And why not? Flip to any page in her 

newest, Poor Little Bitch Girl (St. Martin’s Press), and you’ll find a line like, “It was past 

midnight, and straddling him in his living room with no clothes on was suddenly making 

me feel quite vulnerable,” or this bit of legal tenderness, “Dewey had loser clients 

up the wazoo, and frankly he didn’t give a fast fuck about any of them.” 

“When I was a kid,” explains Collins in our phone chat shortly after New Year’s, “I was 

an avid reader. And sometimes I would pick up a book, and the first page would be confusing. 

There would be all these different characters introduced, and it would be kind of 

boring. So I thought, ‘when I start to write, I really want to make characters very memorable 

right from the start.’ And after 27 books, I like to grab people on the first page!” 

The author of such works as The Stud, The Bitch, Lethal Seduction and Hollywood 

Wives claims she has “absolutely never” been embarrassed by the frankness of her 

material. “I’ve always written exactly what I want,” she says. “You cannot be a writer if 

you’re going to think to yourself, ‘Oh, my Aunt Enid’s going to read that, and she’s not 

going to like it.’ You’re your characters, and characters can do everything. For example, 

in Poor Little Bitch Girl, I write about a black rapper, a gangbanger, a politician, a girl 

who’s pregnant and not married, kidnappers, prostitutes – and I become the characters 

when I’m writing them, but I’m never embarrassed because it’s not me, it’s my 

characters. A storyteller has to feel that way. I would say to anybody out there who 

wants to be a writer: You have to be true to yourself and not worry what other people 

are going to think about it. 

“My first book was The World is Full of Married Men, in 1968,” Collins recalls, “and my 

publisher said to me, ‘We have to take out all the four-letter words, or you’ll be banned 

in Australia and Boston.’ So I took out all the four-letter words. And I was still banned 

in Australia, South Africa and Boston. Which was an interesting experience because I 

was one of the first women to write very frankly about sexual situations. At that time, 

women’s fiction was either, ‘Oh, poor woman! She’s either waiting for the man to 

marry her, or else she’s having a nervous breakdown because he doesn’t.’ And along I 

came with this book, The World is Full of Married Men, which is still in print today, and 

it was about the double standard that existed between men and women.” 

Over the years, we’ve witnessed moral finger-pointing at everyone from Madonna to 

Roseanne to Rosie, but imagine the ire 40 years ago when a woman dared write for a 

commercial audience, in graphic detail, about sexual politics. “There was a member of 

Parliament who was in the closet,” Collins remembers, “and he took a half page in the 

Sunday newspaper and said, ‘This is the most disgusting book I’ve ever read.’ He was 

disgusted because I took the double standard and turned it on its head. He later came 

out as a homosexual – which made it even more bizarre that he’d be so offended. But, 

of course, the book was number one within two weeks.” 

When I joke that mass popularity has a habit of hushing knee-jerk critics, Collins replies, 

“It always does, doesn’t it? Sometimes I’ve had absolutely brilliant reviews, and other 

Jackie Collins 

an interview with

times they’ll really hate it. And there are times when I’m reviewed just for my 

picture on the back of the book. But I don’t want to be a ‘literary’ writer; I 

find them incredibly boring. I’m not interested in a three-page description of 

the room, even if it’s lovely. I’m a storyteller and a popular-culture junkie.” 

That said, building and maintaining such a loyal fan base takes an effort 

that goes beyond even the labor of writing books beachgoers can’t put 

down. “I used to get fan letters,” says Collins, “and then you just had to 

send them an autographed picture; you had no communication whatsoever. 

So it’s really great now; I have fans on my website and on my Facebook 

page. I’m Jackiejcollins on Twitter, and I have a fabulous relationship with 

[the readers] because I can answer their questions directly. Even if it’s oneword 

answers, it’s great communication, and it’s world-wide.” 

Computers have also made research much less onerous. “I wrote a book called, Lovers 

& Gamblers [1977], which was all about a plane that crashed in the Amazon jungle. I was 

surrounded by dictionaries and encyclopedias for weeks on end researching it. Weeks on 

end! Now I think to myself, ‘oh my gosh!’ because I wrote a book recently called Lovers 

and Players [2006] with a Russian girl in it, and I just got on the computer and found out 

everything I wanted to know about Russia. It was great.” 

Despite these up-to-the-minute strategies to reach her devotees, Collins’ working 

method remains almost shockingly Luddite. “I write in long-hand,” she says, “and that’s a 

very tedious process, so it takes me approximately nine months from the day I begin to 

the day I finish. I mean, I do a lot of things on the computer, such as research and stuff 

like that, but when it comes to writing, it’s a very comfortable feel for me to have the 

black-felt pen and the yellow legal pad, and I can go wherever I want and just start writing. 

Then my assistant will put it on the computer for me. I’ll get the typewritten pages 

back at the end of the day, do my changes on those, and they’ll go back and forth between 

her and me a few times. That’s the way I write; I wouldn’t want to do it any other way.” 

Asked if she ever suffers from writer’s block, Collins replies, “I don’t. I get getting-tothe-desk 

block. That’s me going, ‘I’ve gotta start writing, but maybe I should take the dog 

out, maybe I should go to the gym or go and swim for a while.’ But once I’m at the desk, 

I never get blocked long. I was reading about [Irish novelist] Marian Keyes today, who’s a 

very fine writer and writes terrific books. Apparently she’s got a terrible depression and 

can’t write. But that’s never happened to me.” 

This despite enduring some trying times, in both her youth and her marriages. “I was a wild 

child,” Collins, 71, recalls, “and I wanted to get away from home. I was obsessed with 

Hollywood and America. In fact, at school, I used to pretend to be an American, that my father 

was a spy with the CIA and that my whole family was undercover. But I got thrown out of 

school. And by then, my sister [Joan] was very successful making movies with people like Paul 

Newman. So my parents actually looked at me and said, ‘Okay. Reform school or Hollywood?’” 

No shock, Collins chose the U.S.A., though her acting career didn’t quite soar like Joan’s. 

“I never wanted to be an actress, but I couldn’t wait to get to America. When I got here, 

though, it was like, ‘Oh, well, she’s not bad looking, she can be an actress.’ So I bummed 

around at that and then came back to England to do a few movies. But in my mind, I was 

always an out-of-work writer waiting to have a book published.” 

Jealousy was never a factor in the Collins sisters’ relationship. “Joan did give me the gateway 

to Hollywood,” says Jackie, “and later on, I was able to pay her back by giving her my book, 

The Stud, which she starred in and my husband produced. And when Aaron Spelling saw her 

playing Fontaine in The Stud, he said, ‘Let’s steal that character!’, which became Alexis 

Carrington Colby in `Dynasty,’ and the resurgence of Joan’s career. She had a fantastic run on 

television, and I’m very proud of her. We speak every day and remain the best of friends.” 

Friendships are key in Collins’ life now, following two marriages and an engagement cut 

short by illness. “I was married when I was a teenager to a man who, unfortunately, was 

addicted to drugs. My second husband [Oscar Lerman] owned a nightclub and discotheques. 

I think I saw every movie star and sports star known to man pass 

through. So I heard incredible stories and saw incredible things. My books 

are very much based on that and sometimes even toned down. I think that’s 

one of the reasons people like my books: they’re not getting the front page 

of a tabloid; they’re getting the real truth.” 

Following Lerman’s death from cancer in 1992, Collins became engaged to 

businessman Frank Calcagnini, “a fantastic man, but he also died of cancer. 

I’ve nursed two of the loves of my life through terminal illnesses, and that’s 

not easy, as anybody out there who’s gone through it knows. Nursing somebody 

through a terminal illness is something that is so soul destroying 

because you see somebody fade away. But I think I helped people by talking 

about it at the time. I didn’t just mourn their deaths; I celebrated both these men’s lives.” 

Though Collins hasn’t treated the subject in her fiction, she does sense an autobiography 

is in the works. But don’t expect it to be filled with the naughtiness of her novels. “I 

never did any of that stuff because I was always married!” she laughs. “[Oscar] was 20 

years older than I and kept me on the straight and narrow.” 

Asked if she is still, as she was once described by director Louis Malle, “a raunchy moralist,” 

Collins replies, “Yes, and I love that quote, because it’s so true of the kinds of things 

I write. The next book I’m working on is called, Goddess of Vengeance. It’s a Lucky 

Santangelo book – she’s my most popular character. And I want to involve her in something 

to do with a fictional Eastern country so she can fight for women’s rights. Maybe 

she’ll come up against some fictional prince in an Arab country where women are treated 

as third-class citizens. I know everybody thinks I write about Hollywood and glamour, 

but it would also have that other element. The prince would want to take over Lucky’s 

hotels in Vegas, and she comes up against him, and of course, she’s the most powerful 

woman. It would be really fun to write.” ■

Favorite all-time authors 

Mario Puzo – “The Godfather” is my favorite book of all time. And I love Robert B. 

Parker and Joseph Wambaugh. 

Favorite book of your own “”Chances” because it started the Lucky Santangelo 

saga. 

Best fan letter you ever received 

One letter I get repeatedly is from women who say, “Oh, I broke up with my 

boyfriend, and I was gonna go in the bathroom and lock the door and start crying. 

But then I thought about Lucky Santangelo … What would she do? And I got up 

and faced the world, and I feel great.” I have that letter over and over and over 

again. And I have a message for women: girls can do anything. 

Favorite places in the world 

Los Angeles. I find it such an exciting city. You can get in your car and be at the 

beach in 20 minutes, or you can go to the desert, or you can go skiing in the 

mountains. There’s so much to do here. It’s such a beautiful place, to drive along 

the California coast; I love it.

Travel Guides 

Passport to Adventure 

It’s almost summer, and that means trips with family and friends to locations 

near and far. Whether you sign on with a tour group or prefer to explore on 

your own, travel books can be key to making the most of your travel time and 

budget. Travel books proliferate; visit your local bookstore, and you’ll be 

amazed at the sheer quantity of travel guides to just about any city, state, country 

or region in the world; travel phrase books in every language you imagine; 

and, themed travel compendiums on topics you’ve never even thought about. 

Whatever your traveling goal, no matter how unusual, chances are there’s a 

book you can purchase, or at the very least, a website you can visit to learn 

more. 

In order to choose the travel guide that best suits your need, I recommend 

spending time in your local bookstore, thumbing through the guides to find the 

ones you are most comfortable with. Some are basic guides, printed in black and 

white, while others have glossy color photos with elaborate fold-out maps. All 

feature the essential information needed to familiarize yourself with a particular 

location, to learn about its history as well as options for transportation, lodging, 

dining, attractions, sample itineraries, and more, and all the major travel guide 

publishers have companion websites that offer additional information and downloads. 

On Fodors.com, for example, an online phrase guide allows you to see and 

hear 150 phrases in seven different languages, and you can download a free PDF 

wallet guide to key phrases in each of the seven languages.

Time on Earth; and, Bed in a Tree and Other Amazing Hotels Around the World 

(including a hotel made completely of ice!). 

Wherever your travels take you this summer, make the most of your time (and 

money) by reading up and learning about the ins and outs of the locale you 

plan to visit. It’s definitely worth your time. ◆ 

What exactly is the appeal of the travel memoir? Western civilization has had 

something of a love affair with the travelogue (or travel literature, travel essay, 

or travel memoir – take your pick) ever since Homer penned The Odyssey almost 

three millennia ago. Those of you who remember your classics will recall the 

story of Odysseus, a Greek hero cursed by the gods. He spends 20 years 

battling Cyclopes, bedding nymphs and besting the elements in order to return 

home to his beloved Ithaca. Along the way, he takes a veritable 

“best-of” route through the Mediterranean, encountering everything 

from tropical islands to monstrous whirlpools. 

While the travelogue is a little more down-to-earth these days, it is 

no less fraught with adventure or peril. Strictly speaking, travel literature 

need not be a true story. But with so much to see and do in 

the real word, why fictionalize? The modern armchair traveler has 

discovered that by immersing herself in this genre, she can globetrot 

for far less than the cost of a plane ticket, and without leaving the comfort of 

her own home. 

A slew of authors have been more than happy to oblige her needs: everyone 

from Charles Darwin, to Paul Theroux (my mom’s favorite travel writer) to 

Elizabeth Gilbert (of Eat, Pray, Love fame). These writers have little in common, 

except that they traveled to distant (or not-so-distant) parts of the world 

Travel Memoirs 

by Marshall Honorof 

and chose to share their adventures with us. 

While there are travelogue writers out there to suit every taste, no column on 

this subject would be complete without a mention of Bill Bryson, Anglo-American 

author of such bestsellers as Notes from a Small Island and In a Sunburned 

Country. In addition to a fairly impressive travel history, Mr. Bryson has the 

uncanny ability to turn an ordinary backyard into a socio-geographic goldmine. 

Both A Walk in the Woods and I’m a Stranger Here Myself take place in the 

northeastern United States. The former deals with Mr. Bryson’s attempt to 

hike the Appalachian Trail, an endeavor that he fails in the most charming, 

entertaining style possible. The latter is a series of articles written by Mr. 

Bryson upon returning to the United States after a long hiatus in England. 

Of similar interest is Bill Bryson’s African Diary, which chronicles a trip he took 

to Kenya with humanitarian organization CARE. The book is replete with Mr. 

Bryson’s signature wit and charm. Perhaps no incident is more hilarious than 

his death-defying trip on Kenyan Railways, which “has something of a tradition 

of killing its passengers.” 

If Mr. Bryson’s dry, somewhat-sardonic wit is not to your taste, don’t worry: 

there is more than 3,000 years’ worth of other travel writing out there. In addition 

to providing an entertaining read, a travelogue may well inspire your next 

vacation. Just pray that you have better luck than Odysseus.

Help With Weight Loss and Diabetes

Elder Mediation 

By Rita Medaglio-Barrera, CDFA and Gloria Ciolli, MSW, CSW, ACSW, LMSW 

Elder mediation recognizes 

the voice of older 

and disabled adults in 

the decisions that 

impact their quality of 

life. Because most major 

life changes involve the 

whole family, decision-making rarely involves 

just one issue. Mediation

open and supportive environment 

that fosters creative 

solutions that are best suited 

for them.

Families will have to be able to evaluate

Good Advice 

Do You Need To Avoid Probate? 

By Marc Alhonte, Esq. 

Probate is the judicial 

process of approving a 

will. All wills must be 

approved by a Court, 

regardless of the size of 

the estate. 

Some attorneys promote avoiding probate 

for all estates, to 

minimize costs. However, 

probate does not represent 

the only cost of settling 

an estate. In all 

estates, whether or not 

probate is involved, assets 

must be collected; debts 

must be paid; tax returns 

may be filed; estate taxes may be due; 

and the beneficiaries must receive their 

proper inheritance. An estate does not 

avoid the need or the expense of doing 

these things, by avoiding probate. The 

Each estate must be

advertisement 

cost of avoiding probate may be more 

than the cost of probate. 

The way to avoid probate is to dispose 

of your property outside your will; 

through jointly owned assets, assets with 

named beneficiaries (such as life insurance), 

or placing assets in a living trust. 

There are time when 

avoiding probate can 

serve an estate: to avoid a 

probable will contest, or 

where there is real estate 

in multiple states. Each 

estate must be analyzed 

on a case-by-case basis to 

determine if avoiding probate

Know Your Options When Considering Divorce 

by Ann Block, Esq. 

After litigating hundreds

that choosing the best 

approach for a particular

LITIGATION involves two attorneys and

Good Advice 

money wasted. The distrust 

and acrimony 

between the parties 

increases as the litigation 

progresses, often causing 

irreparable damage to the 

parties and their children. 

MEDIATION involves a neutral thirdparty 

mediator, usually an attorney or a 

social worker. Both parties discuss the 

issues with the mediator who assists the 

parties in working out a settlement that is 

mutually satisfactory. This process is best 

when both parties communicate effectively 

with each other and are sufficiently 

knowledgeable about the economics of 

their relationship. 

COLLABORATIVE LAW involves two 

experienced and trained attorneys who 

protect and advise their clients. The parties 

and the attorneys work together to 

achieve a mutually satisfactory settlement 

which fosters the needs of the parties and 

their children. There is full financial disclosure 

and experts are 

retained when needed. 

There is no wasted time, 

thus the process is more 

cost effective than litigation. 

This process is ideal 

for most divorcing couples 

as it promotes settlement and minimizes 

the acrimony.

Beauty 

by Gina Roberts-Grey 

Are All Shampoos Created Equal? 

What You Need to Know to Avoid a Bad Hair Day 

Nicole Spencer, 32, 

has shampoo on her 

mind. “I’ve got curly 

hair, so I can’t just pop 

into a store and grab 

any brand shampoo 

or conditioner off the 

shelf because my hair 

might wind up too dry 

or unable to hold a 

style.” But, hair care 

experts say Spencer’s 

pickiness isn’t a bad 

thing. 

Delnita Smith, a 

licensed cosmetologist, says everyone should be mindful of what they’re 

putting on their heads because “using the right shampoo and conditioner 

are the foundation of every hair style … and of 

healthy hair.” 

Which means you’ve got to know how to 

find the “right” one for you. 

When assessing 

ingredients, look 

for elements 

from nature like 

aloe vera and nut 

oils. 

looks and feels coarse, like straw,” says Smith. 

“Usually, pricey products work so well because of 

the quality of their ingredients and performance 

guarantee,” Smith says. 

Straw-like hair is exactly why Spencer opts to 

shell out a few extra bucks for shampoo and conditioner. 

“Because I’ve got curly hair that I don’t 

want to look like straw, I pay attention to ingredients, 

not price,” says Spencer. 

Pricier is Better? 

The experts say you get what you pay for, and 

a pricier shampoo is worth the money. Here’s 

why: A product’s price tag is often driven by its 

ingredients. And because of their ingredients, 

cheaper brands can strip your hair of too much 

of its natural oils. “That can result in hair that 

Demystifying the Label 

Many brands offer promises of being “moisturizing.” 

Others boast of containing must-have ingredients. 

But, our experts say many of these claims are a bit of 

a stretch while others are completely unnecessary. 

These ingredients, say experts, aren’t worth the price: 

Proteins. They’re certainly great for building muscle 

but won’t do a thing for your hair. 

Vitamins and provitamins. Wash them down with 

water, and they’ll help keep you healthy. Wash your hair 

with them, and you’ll wash your money down the drain. 

Botanical extracts. They appeal to your sniffer 

(giving products their scent) but offer no benefit to 

your hair. 

Humectants. One big word with one little effect. 

Detergents remove the humectants that attract 

moisture to hair. 

What to Look For 

Ingredients really are the cornerstone to shampoos 

and conditioners. And beyond name, price 

or smell, experts say they’re what you should pay 

attention to when choosing a product. 

They’re listed on labels from the highest content 

to lowest. If water is listed early on, you’ll have to 

use more to get the same results as a higherpriced 

brand. “You may even need to wash twice with cheaper brands to 

get the same effect of one wash with a pricier shampoo,” says Smith. You 

can usually use a dime-sized amount of an expensive brand versus a silver 

dollar size portion or bigger of a cheap one. So, ounce for ounce the professional 

brand costs less. 

Some ingredients you do want are coincidentally the ones that jack up the 

price. A bottle of shampoo with top-of-the-line ingredients can run anywhere 

from $10 to $40, depending on the size, compared to a bargain 

brand you can pick up for about $4. 

When assessing ingredients, look for elements from nature like aloe vera, 

which has tissue reparative properties, and nut oils which coat your hair’s 

cuticles so water stays locked inside. Smith cautions steering clear of brands 

with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). “It’s one very common detergent that can 

damage your hair.” SLS also dries hair out and can aggravate the scalp. “It 

can also lead to thinning hair after extended use because it’s so harsh and 

irritating,” Smith says. 

Another benefit to higher-priced products, says Keneesha Hudson, 

licensed cosmetologist and hair salon owner, is they use very mild detergents 

which cuts down on damage to hair. “It also keeps color brighter, 

longer and curls from being tight, dry or wooly,” Hudson says. 

Two Aren't As Good As One 

Moderate to high-priced lines usually have products that suit every hair 

type individually (oily, normal, dry and damaged, fine, colored or perm, etc.) 

versus one or two “universal” one shampoo fits all hair types options. And 

don’t try to save a buck by using an all-in-one shampoo/conditioner combo 

product. It may save you time in the shower, but you’ll have to sacrifice in 

your style. Smith says stick to separate shampoo and conditioner. 

“Shampoos can’t effectively cleanse if they’re combined with something 

that’s designed to coat hair and remoisturize it,” 

she says. And your hair needs each specific benefit 

both shampoos and conditioners offer. 

The Bottom Line 

If high priced isn’t in your budget, “bargain 

brands work if you do your homework to find the 

right one,” says Smith. Start with your hair type: Is 

your hair dry, greasy and limp, damaged or color 

treated? “Once you understand what you’re dealing 

with, you can target products specifically formulated 

for your hair,” she says. 

And, forgo flipping open the lid in the middle of 

the store to choose a product based strictly on its 

scent. “I learned the hard way,” says Spencer. 

“Some scents don’t smell strong in the store but 

can be too overpowering when they’re on your 

head all day.”◆

Lainie Kazan 

For Real 

There’s no mistaking that full-throttled laugh that undulates in sensual 

waves even over the phone. New York native Lainie Kazan’s 

deep, husky tones float through the airwaves loud and clear – 

even 3,000 miles away on a car phone en route to getting her 

nails done. This is one busy Lainie. Not that she wasn’t hard-working 

before. But this philanthropic mega-talent (who’ll be performing 

May 31 at Westbury Music Fair) is juggling much more than 

usual these days. 

Except this mid-week day, she’s running around for personal, 

rather than professional, purposes. After dropping her granddaughter 

Isabella off at toddler-karate class, Kazan was ready for a 

mini-respite from her over- scheduled work week. “I’m on my way 

to get my nails done and I’m not working this week,” she confided 

during a recent interview wedged in between chores. “And I’m 

leaving for a little R&R so I can just breathe, take a massage, take 

a mud bath, anything like that,” she sighed in anticipation. “No 

activity, I just want to go into a pretty space because my brain 

hurts,” she laughed. What kind of special treats was she looking 

forward to? “Everything. I like acupressure and acupuncture and foot massage. I 

love it all,” she said enthusiastically. Where was she off to for this much-deserved 

three-days-of-divine-decadence? “I’m not telling,” she laughed. 

This zaftig, Brooklyn native has been multitasking before there was even a word 

for it during her still-going-strong 35-year career. But now, the California transplant 

has to carefully orchestrate every task down to the nanosecond for one simple reason: 

My Big Fat Greek Wedding. 

LIW Digital Edition Bonus Pages 

ethnicity is Greek. 

Kazan was barely taking a breather from her whirlwind television 

and touring schedule when the phone rang. “There I was at 

home and the call came asking me to read for the part of Maria in 

an independent film to be financed by Tom Hanks and Rita 

Wilson. I was asked to do what is called a ‘table-read’ of a script 

that was maybe going to be made into a movie,” she continued. 

“Tom said, ‘Listen, if we ever make this into a movie we want 

you for the mother.’ And I said, ‘yeah, sure,’” she laughed, figuring 

that would be pretty unlikely. No one thought in their wildest dreams that the slim 

tale would have such legs, she added. With the movie having grossed more than 

$100 million, and video sales and rentals racking up even more profit, everyone 

involved was understandably thrilled with the little-sleeper-that-could. 

The victory is even sweeter, Kazan said, since first-time critics thought the movie 

a sentimental, albeit well-made, television-type treacle with a terrific cast. So much 

for the discernment of critics. The public’s reaction was a different story, as everyby

“I love Long Island. 

Some of the best 

years of my life were 

spent there.” 

The stratospheric popularity of this little indie movie about an ugly duckling 

with a fairy tale ending, took everyone involved by surprise. Producers Tom Hanks 

and Rita Wilson deigned it a labor of love after Wilson saw the one-woman stage 

version of the story in Los Angeles. 

But not even Nostradamus could have predicted the meteoric success of the sweetnatured 

romantic comedy about an over-involved Greek family. In the movie and television 

series based on it, Kazan plays Maria, a broadly-drawn ethnic character 

steeped in maternal love and simmering with familial devotion. Except this time, 

instead of her tackling the Jewish or Italian mother stereotype, the

one knows by now, and vaulted the movie into cinema history. Kazan has welcomed 

this unexpected career coup much like she welcomes everything in her life: 

with grace and humility. “It’s a phenomenal experience and I feel blessed, I truly 

do,” she said with passion rising in her voice. 

This unexpected bounty has left Kazan justifiably giddy with happiness and having 

the time of her life. And she’s thrilled she’ll be sharing details of it with her Long 

Island audience during her concert performance at Westbury this month. She said 

it will be the very sweetest kind of homecoming. “The very first professional job I 

had after getting my Equity Card was at Westbury,” she said proudly. The Hofstra 

graduate reflected lovingly on her time spent on Long Island. “I love Long Island. 

Some of the best years of my life were spent there,” she recalled. 

The past two years have been a professional and personal challenge for many reasons, 

she revealed during the interview. Gearing up for that much-deserved threeday 

R&R break, she happily shared insights into her successful career trajectory. 

Kazan’s professional pedigree reads like a how-to manual in breaking into and 

staying solvent in, show biz. From community theater when she was a youngster, to 

Broadway, Kazan has shared the stage, movie and television studios with the likes of 

Frank Sinatra, Peter O’Toole, Barbra Streisand and Andrea Martin, to name but a few 

luminaries. Her experience runs the gamut from playing a corpse whose death was 

off-screen, in 1968’s forgettable movie Lady in Cement (with Sinatra), to portraying 

the recurring television role of Grace’s endearing Aunt Honey in Will & Grace. 

From being a chorine in Hofstra University’s productions of The Student Prince and 

South Pacific, to carving a niche for herself on television’s My Big Fat Greek Life, Kazan 

has successfully made her mark in the business for the past 35 years. From B-movies to 

critically-acclaimed films (My Favorite Year, Beaches, Harry and the Hendersons, The 

Cemetery Club and 29 th Street) and television shows (St. Elsewhere, The Nanny, 

Veronica’s Closet and Touched By an Angel), Kazan has not only acted her way up the 

Hollywood ladder, she’s also been impressing live audiences with her cabaret performances 

for decades. She grew 

up admiring the likes of 

Milton Berle and Lucille 

Ball, gleaning comedy 

tips from those two 

veterans of the genre. 

Kazan has also 

appeared on The 

Dean Martin Show 

an unprecedented 

26 times, and produced 

and starred 

in Broadway’s allstar 

tribute to Ethel 

Merman. The tribute, 

a benefit for the Gay 

Men’s Health Crisis, was 

dubbed “Doin’ What 

Comes Natur’lly,” and also 

featured powerhouse stars 

Bette Midler, Patti LuPone, 

Madeline Kahn, Elaine Stritch and 

Andrea Martin. She’s sung with the Boston 

Lainie Kazan and Michael Constantine 

on the set of CBS’s 

My Big Fat Greek Life 

Pops and Cleveland Pops and before sold-out venues throughout the U.S., Europe 

and Asia. She’s also lent her name to Playboy clubs in Los Angeles and New York – 

“Lainie’s Room” and “Lainie’s Room East.” When she’s on the East Coast she typically 

plays sold-out shows at two favorite haunts, The Algonquin and Regency 

hotels. She’s been Tony and Emmy-nominated and received television’s CableACE

Lainie Kazan 

Award. Her CDs include Lainie Kazan in the Groove and 

Body and Soul. 

Her philanthropic works include board membership 

on the Young Musician’s Foundation, B’nai Brith 

and the AIDS Project in Los Angeles. 

Her role models were rich and varied, she said, from 

Hollywood entertainers to educational colleagues. “I 

absolutely idolized Judy Garland and got a lot of inspiration 

from her,” she said. An avid moviegoer since she 

was small, Kazan knew she was born to entertain and 

rehearsed during many a family gathering. 

Which explains her penchant for performing live 

in front of an appreciative audience. Her vocal 

prowess, a dark mixture of sultry and passionate 

tinged with humor, has won acclaim from reviewers 

worldwide and her ability to charm an audience is 

apparent in her guilelessness. She connects to a live 

audience because she shares personal tidbits in a 

sophisticated, yet playful, manner. 

“I think that being on a nightclub stage is as close 

to the real me as you can get,” she said. Playing a 

character is wonderful, but when she performs before 

a live audience, there’s a magic that’s lacking on 

movie or television sets, she reflected. “I am who I 

am (on stage), not playing a character. And all the 

facets of my life are out there in my songs – the funny 

ones, the tragic ones. I’m very free on stage, it’s very 

liberating,” she said. 

And she has no plans to take it easy either, despite 

being temporarily sidelined last year by a bad hip. A 

dancer since she was a youngster in neighborhood 

dance class, Kazan chalks up her bad hip to countless 

performances since toddlerhood. Her first public 

appearance was at age 4-1/2, in front of an audience 

at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She won the 

crowd over with her toddler rendition of “I’ll Be 

Down to Get You In a Taxi, Honey,” which she sang 

laughingly, to prove she still knew the words. 

But knowing the words doesn’t help when you 

have a bum hip, she continued. Fortunately, the hip 

surgery she underwent last year was a complete success 

and her much-improved health imbued her with 

a new sense of enthusiasm for performing live. 

“I am very happy right now and my life is very 

comfortable. In fact, I’m doing fantastic,” she said 

with a laugh that sounded like singing. Before the 

surgery she was in constant pain, she added. “My hip 

was getting worse and worse every day. But as soon 

as I had the operation, I got better and better every 

day.” No cane, no pain, she said. 

The timing couldn’t have been better, either, considering 

her television sitcom schedule is a grueling 

five days a week, sometimes 12 hours a day. “I’m not 

complaining,” she emphasized. “I’m very grateful to 

be so busy and I have never had this kind of extraordinary 

success.” But the differences between filming 

a movie and a television show are vast. “There’s a lot 

of memorization, last-minute changes and the tension 

and the pressure is enormous,” she continued. 

“We have to go out there and not just make the audience 

laugh, we have to please the network, the producers, 

a lot of different people.” 

With her extensive experience in numerous entertainment 

genres, how does acting in a weekly sitcom 

compare to movie-making? With the movies, she 

said, it’s a whole other ball game. “The producers 

don’t see it until the movie is finished and the pressure 

is lessened,” she said. When asked about the 


general negative critical response to the television’s 

premiere episodes, she shrugged it off. “The movie 

(My Big Fat Greek Wedding) didn’t get great reviews 

either,” she said matter-of-factly. “But people love it. 

The television show came in first and second (the first 

two weeks) so we must have captured an audience. I 

think we did great and it’s one of the highest-rated 

shows this year.” 

How does her character compare to the real 

Lainie? “Maria is a warm and loving mother and I 

think I am,” she reflected. “She’s also a generous soul 

and I think I am, too. She’s not quite as sophisticated 

as I am but those are the qualities that people are 

responding to right now. 

“I’m everybody’s mother – there for her kids, totally 

supportive and doesn’t expect that much of them,” 

she said, adding that the mother may be similar to 

other ethnic characters she’s portrayed in film and 

theater. “I don’t share her (Maria’s) taste in clothes or 

hair because my tastes run wild. But that’s because I 

grew up in another culture, really counter-culture,” 

said the 1960 graduate of Brooklyn’s once-prestigious 

Erasmus Hall High School, an institution known for its 

high scholastic requirements. “Brooklyn then was 

lovely and wonderful and safe and I had two parents 

who were very unusual. We were not your average 

Jewish family,” she said. “My father was a bookie and 

my mother was like the Jewish Blanche Dubois, very 

dramatic,” she chuckled. 

Then, sounding reluctant to end the conversation, 

she said, “I hate to tell you but I’ve reached my destination.” 

She undoubtedly has. r
