As a woman who started working in the Industry at 22 during the very sexist 80’s, and told I would ‘never be more than a secretary in this business’, Lucy was a driving force. In 1989, I met my own red headed woman named Margaret Henderson, who knew what it was like to work her way up in the industry. She took me under her wing and allowed me to do my job as a talent rep in my own ‘think outside of the box way’. I became a successful talent agent and went on to open my own management company in 1997. By 2010, I outlasted the man who made the secretary remark over and over in the industry by 20 years.

I raise a cup to Lucy, Maggi and all of the women who broke down walls and paved the way for this community college educated, quirky, tattooed, don’t ever put me in a box woman to successfully do things her way in spite of the naysayers.
