...success, Mohajer's attitude (the vinyl cover of her appointment book reads F___ IT!) is distinctly Gen X, light-years from boomers' idealized image of their own youth, forged in the crucibles of the civil rights, antiwar and feminist movements. Is there a generation gap? "Oh, my God, I'd have to say yeah!" she answers. Before Hard Candy, she wanted to be a plastic surgeon, a goal her father, a cancer researcher, opposed.
