Weather Girl

Dear Reader,

Some of you may know me as an actor. But before all that, I got my degree in English at The University of Southern California with an emphasis in creative writing. I have spent the last couple of decades in Hollywood and working all over the world. But my first love was short fiction. I spend a lot of time writing scripts, but when the pandemic came along, that lovely mistress came tapping at my back door. Weather Girl is a love letter to Joan Didion, Nathaniel West, Mike Davis, Thomas Pynchon, and my 22-year journey through the film and television business. It’s cutting failures and glorious victories. The magic. The myth.
The uncrackable code of what makes someone a star, and ultimately, the realization that none of it makes any sense. I hope you enjoy the story of Rae Winterborn, my Weather Girl.
