April Anson Dammann

The Los Angeles Times runs a photo of a leaping UCLA Song Girl in mid-air, holding a pom pom in one hand and her college valedictory address in the other. The unsubtle message: she has pep and brains. The photo is silly - but her legs look good. She goes on to earn an M.A. in Foreign and Comparative Lit from the U. of Rochester and La Sorbonne.
April Dammann is a Hollywood native who came to prominence as a writer for television, film and theatre. She produces plays for Los Angeles stages and has recently turned to non-fiction with the release of her first book, "Exhibitionist: Earl Stendahl, Art Dealer as Impresario" from Angel City Press. Her next book, also from Angel City Press: "Corita Kent. Art and Soul. The Biography."
