Hey kids!
Are you new to showbiz? Did you just relocate to L.A.? Wondering what the hell you should do next?
Worry not, chilluns. That wondrous publication calling itself The Los Angeles Times has you covered.
For real. Yer caring lil munchikins swears. And y’all know yrs. truly would never letcha down.
But let’s cut to the chase. As of this writing, la Times has a whole section which is a perfect primer for anybody wanting to get started in what we insiders (ahem, you’re laughing at me, I know) so cleverly call “The Industry.”
The overall heading is: Have big Hollywood dreams? Read the L.A. Times guide to entertainment industry careers and just like a certain sweetheart name of Long Tall Sally has – as Little Richard sings so well – “everything that Uncle John needs ooh baby,” so does this Guide have what the rest of us need. In other words, stories like:
- You can start your Hollywood career from anywhere. Here’s how
- Hollywood can be brutal. Here’s how to manage your mental health
- How to pay your bills when you’re starting out in Hollywood
- Explaining Hollywood: How to find a talent agent who’s right for you
- Explaining Hollywood: How to get a job as a TV writer
- Explaining Hollywood: How to get a job as a producer
- And more!

Muchas Gracias, Herbie J, for all you’re doing for us, yer panting fans!”
