You Might Know Her From

Dinah Manoff, our love! (Ooh Ooh Ooh) You Might Know Her From Grease, Empty Nest, Soap, State of Grace, Ordinary People, Child’s Play, Leader of the Pack, I Ought to Be in Pictures, and her new novel The Real True Hollywood Story of Jackie Gold. Dinah came aboard to chat about penning her debut novel, a fictionalized coming of age tale about a moviestar with a Hollywood pedigree and a complicated relationship with the paparazzi. We also talked to Dinah about her own showbiz upbringing with actress mother Lee Grant and writer dad Arthur Manoff; the good, bad, and annoying of appearing on a network sitcom for seven years, winning a Tony for her Broadway debut in Neil Simon’s I Ought to Be in Pictures, and appearing in our all time favorite movie Grease as Marty. Dinah also agreed with us with us that Miss Murdoch was gay and opened up about the special place Broadway flop Leader of the Pack has in her heart. This really is a high holy day.    Dinah’s book: The Real True Hollywood Story of Jackie Gold Parents:
