FEAR HER (PART DEUX)

Long profile of She Who Must Be Read, Nikki Finke of Deadline.com, by Tad Friend in The New Yorker.

Of this story I'll retain the magnificent illustration by Jaime Hernandez - actually, I'm thinking of framing it and put it on my desk - and two facts:

[Major Spoiler Alert!]

[We warned you!]

According to Mr Friend's story one of Nikki Finke's favourite movies is Legally Blonde (Good God, Nikki! You must REALLY like MGM if it's true). And Nikki has a cat called Blue. I didn't know Nikki has a cat, that must be a huge problem with sources working at Disney.

P.S.: I love the reference to Charlie of Charlie's Angels in Tad Friend's piece.
