I met Dana and her daughter, Rory, a few years ago at a movie premiere. Today, I got to know her a little better. Not only is Dana a writer/screenwriter, she is a comedian, with lots of interesting stories.
She grew up in Philadelphia to Italian parents and – wow ! Her grandparents, raging alcoholics, owned a Speak Easy during prohibition. Dana said her grandmother would start drinking beer at 6 a.m. Gramma had 12 inch fingernails painted red. Maybe it was the style?
Anyway Dana started the comedy when she wrote a mob related screen play. She auditioned for Flappers in Burbank’s open mike, and then on the Dive Bar Tour. Can’t wait to see one of the Dive Bar shows.
Take a listen, and follow her on facebook and check out the comedy.
