Oh, but in Australia, not much happened there!’ Have you seen the Oscar nominated movie, Animal Kingdom? I knew some of the real criminals portrayed in that movie, and knew the two young cops that were ambushed and killed. And yes, I carried a Smith and Wesson '38 . . . . I wrote the cop stories, like vignettes in Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City.”~ Excerpt from interview with PresspassLA
