Great vlog Em and John. It's nice to know that others experience the same human characteristics...It's difficult to be nice "all" the time. Sometimes our personalities clash. Thanks so much for this entertaining and informative video.
It is a difficult subject to talk about but the two of you handled it with charm and humor and, in my opinion, that is the only way to do it. Cheers, Stephan
The human condition...indeed calls upon us for patience and ad-lib..as my Mom would express...7 brothers, 7 different minds..it takes a saint to have a friction free life..shall we count on one hand?
Emily--You and I have never met-talked on the phone once but Johnny (my family calls him Johnny) has always been very nice to us. My Mom (he called her Dink) grew up with him in Knoxville and always thought so much of him. I really like seeing the videos when I get to watch them. Tell him I said hello - Pepper

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
