Biting the Big Apple - A Memoir of Life, Love (Okay and Sex) in New York City

Bella is an adventurer; she has travelled the world and worked in all sorts of jobs but the thread running through her life is acting. And as an actor, studying at the Lee Strasberg school in New York was her goal. She said about her first visit there: 'I asked the receptionist, 'How do you get into a school like this?' And the receptionist smiled and said, 'Don't try. It's impossible, darling.' And we both had a bit of a giggle and I said, 'Right, give me the application forms.'
