A STAR is born! The girl is being tapped by Abbot Laboratories to appear in a NATIONAL print advertising campaign...with MAGIC JOHNSON. I give Abbot a lot of credit for wanting real medical people for the ad--not just models.
The girl is as pretty as a model, of course--but the fact that she is a bona fide medical professional--is quite a feather in their cap.

My role in all this? Help bring the girl up to speed about just how cool Magic Johnson is. She knows him from an appearance on Oprah and knows, of course, that he's HIV positive and is a huge advocate but she's not up on the whole NBA Hall of Fame thing. Hope I can get an autograph!
