The Opposite of Famous, A Hollywood Memoir is a collection of funny essays about my life in L.A. where I worked as a model, commercial actor, film extra, and butt double, among other things. I also traveled the country with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, as her road manager and dated Jerry Seinfeld for eight rocky years before finding my happily ever after with my husband.

I wrote the weekly column, “Tryon Diary,” in the Tryon Daily Bulletin in 2014 and 2015. My plan was to collect and publish my columns each year, and this book contains the 28 columns I wrote in 2014.

The columns documented my adjustment to small-town life after living in L.A. and highlighted people, places and events in my discovery of magical Tryon.

Life doesn’t always go as planned, so when my husband’s new job took us to Phoenix, I wrapped up my columns and published all 50 in The Complete Tryon Diary.

“Susan’s humor is as subtle as a sharp razor blade and her columns always look at life and people from a positive point of view …” –Jim Wright, Mayor of Tryon
