At thirteen she was lonely, longing for attention, and desperate to find something to fill the void. It wasn't a pony. It was Warren Beatty. She made a secret vow to find him and have him in her life forever. She wasn't naive and this wasn't a fantasy; she had a solid plan. And the first step was to grow up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive years later, Nash--now eighteen--embarks on the next step of her plan. After quitting college, she learns that Warren Beatty--who lives at the Beverly Hills Hotel--frequents a nearby restaurant. She gets a hostess job there and waits. In the meantime, she has endless strange encounters with stalkers, sociopaths, actors, agents, mobsters, and producers. It takes a year-and-a-half, but on a cold Sunday night, after breaking her finger in a judo class and looking her worst--dirty hair pulled back, no make-up, her broken finger in a glass of ice--Warren Beatty walks through the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sibylline Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960573421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nikki Nash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51258279395509,"sku":"9781960573421","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_42ceba32-09e5-4a0a-b965-4961860c7b6a.jpg?v=1750814685","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/collateral-stardust-9781960573421","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
