    Hello to Dorothy - you signed my treasured boot a few years ago at Rockefeller - your edging will always inspire skaters - I watch you on that Lussi spin tape - those blur spins of yours!! who else can do them? You will always take my breath away. And I am so glad you tell the truth, will read your book with interest. I had an alcoholic father too, so i have some idea of how that works - All the best to you, forever an inspiration no matter what - and thank you Leonard for letting me hear her interviewed by you!

    This is for Dorothy! I remember getting the "Dorothy Hamill" haircut at Sexy Scissors in Flushing, Queens. I presented this episode of my life at the Rejection Show at the UCB. If you knew how unlike Dorothy I look, you'd see how comical it was: http://www.flickr.com/photos/64208676@N00/219521694/in/set-72157594243559610/

    I need to know--Dorothy's red velvet cake was the best ever--is the recipe in this book?---or where can I get it...she is quite the baker.

    I absolutelt still think she is the greatest.
