I go way back with Hillary to my Challenge for Champions project in the early 80s when the new age was new and I produced happenings to create networking among the practitioners of what was going on. Hillary dressed like a French courtesan and in a heavy French accent read fake telegrams of congratulations from world leaders and superstars. I don’t know why she isn’t a well-known superstar herself – maybe she is too good at award-winning performing, writing, art, web production and design, and other uncategorizable sorts of deliveries. Before I met her, she had been the grand prize winner, the first to get all 10s, on the Gong Show as a singer/juggler.
