The
Imposter
Excerpt
Two local women, having
read this article and believing in its validity, were hoping for an avenue
to open up for their talents through a mutual contact, since they were
both involved with writing and producing a musical stage play. A phone
call to this "successful Hollywood Writer" resulted in a meeting at which
time she promised to be their "Contact". With the addition of their artist
friend, the imposter led them down a twisted path of well-placed lies and
acts of deception. A sequence of promises broken caused one of the local
women to investigate the validity of the "Hollywood Writer's" claims of
her involvment with major movie and television studios, publication agencies,
and local newspapers sources. Following a trail of false claims to their
origins, the truth was unfolded one page at a time through phone calls
that involved Hollywood Corporations, Agencies, the Yellow Pages, Psychologists,
and with the local newspaper byliner who originated the story. This clever
imposter had bequiled professionals and novices alike at their own disciplines.
