"scene twenty two, take four!...and ACTION!"

Hollywood is not even a real city with a mayor, but a fantasy that has been created by the imagination of the writers that gave birth to it and cradled by the dreams of those that nurture the myth. Technically, the Hollywood area is part of the city of Los Angeles, California, the City of Angels. The "reel" people of Hollywood are very much like you, except the more famous of them hide their trash from enquiring minds that want to know. This web site is not about the trash hiders, but about the hardworking people who's names appear on the silver screen as tiny, fast rolling credits. Actually, these pages are mostly about me!

Hi! I'm Lee Sjostrom, artist, screenwriter, independent filmmaker and video editor. I'm one of the just ordinary, although slightly eccentric "reel" people, who still puts my garbage bin on the street on collection days. I live towards the bottom of Hollywood Hills, California with my husband, Carl and my cat, Merlin. That's temporary. I'm slowly crawling my way up the hill: halfway there now. I love life because I'm lucky enough to get to do the things I love to do, (most of the time). That's because I've learned to overlook the pile of crusty dishes in the sink, and if we run out of clean socks, I go buy new and cheap ones at the Pic 'n Save. They're disposable these days, you know.

I'm writing this cyberspace diary to tell you the truth about me just in case I ever have to hide my trash from those inquiring minds...?
