A popular media guest, she's known for her astrological thumbnail sketches of newsmakers, from politicians to movie stars, and has just created her own horoscope chart interpretation service. An avid Red Cross supporter, she's also producing a documentary on their work dealing with the AIDS crisis in Africa. Born and raised in Hollywood, she now has homes in London and New York.
