...Clarey, his chief of staff. "It is kind of fun walking the hallways with him as the cameras go off." Schwarzenegger's mantra to the office staff is borrowed from the movies"Action, action, action." Not surprisingly, a steady stream of celebrities drops by: Clint Eastwood, Tom Arnold, Danny DeVito, Anthony Hopkins, Jamie Lee Curtis. Clarey posts snapshots of the famous visitors on her office wall...

Robinson wisely chooses to tell Olivia's story through her letters and e-mail, allowing her to shift with unnerving speed from hilarious satire--in letters to Robin Williams and Danny DeVito begging them to look at scripts--to devastatingly painful accounts of Madeleine's decline. Robinson does both with the sad, sweet voice of experience, having been around the Hollywood track a few times--she has a producing credit on Braveheart--and having seen her sister through a terminal illness.
