Diary of a Hollywood Nobody

About this ebook
Chris Yarborough is a Midwesterner as green as the corn back home in Ohio. This former bookstore employee moves out to Los Angeles to pursue a profitable career in screenwriting.
She finds an office job in a Century City-based tax and financial planning company. The business closes in six months and her career as a temp is launched.
Chris temps in various locations from East L.A. to downtown to Santa Monica and the Valley. Jobs in movie studios bring her in contact with famous actors. As a temp she's a nobody that's as disposable as toilet paper.
Searching for a literary agent and that elusive script sale, Chris encounters an array of unusual characters. A partying apartment manager, an important film director who can launch her career, a lawyer with an office furnished in kindergarten motif, and several household names. Sometimes working in the entertainment biz, including stints at Playboy, Universal Studios, and Warner Bros, to jobs in unrelated fields, the plucky screenwriter perseveres.
We’re shown the excesses of the 1990's as a nobody tries to become a somebody in Hollywood.
