If you could have dinner with one person from the past or present, who would it be?
My Mother. Although she isn’t famous to the rest of the world, she was a rock star to me. When she lost her battle with cancer at the age of 49, I was lost. We would have the longest dinner in history and maybe a few desserts and drinks because I would never want the evening to end!
