MARA and I drive out to Burbank together. She’s going to be interviewed for

the DBS morning show.

“I don’t know if I want to be on TV,” she tells me, raising her hand to her

mouth, then quickly putting it back down on her lap, twisting her fingers

together in anguish.

She got a manicure and doesn’t want to fuck it up.

“You’re going to be great,” I tell her. “I’ll be right there with you, watching

the whole time.”

“What do you think they’ll ask me?”

“Nothing challenging—it’s a morning show, for fuck’s sake. If they weren’t

talking to you, they’d probably be interviewing the lady who baked the

world’s biggest donut.”

“They should interview her,” Mara laughs. “What an accomplishment.”

“You know we have to be at the studio at 4:15 a.m. for hair and makeup.”

“Are you serious!?” she cries. Mara’s not an early riser.

“That’s why they call it a morning show—‘cause it’s at the goddamned crack

of dawn.”

“I’m so nervous. I’m not gonna sleep a wink.”

“Do you want an Ambien? I brought two with me.”

She considers, tapping one nicely polished nail against her lower teeth.

“What if I can’t wake up in time?”

“You’ll be fine. I’ll set an alarm.”

“Alright,” she agrees, sighing in relief. “Otherwise I’ll be exhausted.”

We settle in at the Chateau Marmont, where I’ve booked us a suite

overlooking Sunset Boulevard. I thought Mara would like its architecture and

the Old Hollywood history.
