She writes on FB: “I am going on a four month sabbatical [mid-March thru mid-July] — Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand!”
Danielle has been at the Journal for eight years. I keep expecting to see her on TV and other glamorous places.
Two of her exes are Conservative rabbis.
After her Mel Brooks interview published a few weeks ago, Danielle posted to FB:
I actually called my grandmother a little after the interview to ask, “What’s stuffed cabbage?” Apparently it has meat in it. I am currently in the process of inventing a vegetarian version and then I will invite Mel to come over for Shabbat and watch “Wild Tales.” And thanks for the nice words, everybody; it is always a joy to hear reactions to what I write (especially from friends near and far) since writing is so very solitary and dreary — until it’s finished. Thank you for reading!!
I knew Neal Dublinsky from my arrival in Los Angeles in 1994 until his death in 2010. Perhaps the last time I saw him was at Starbucks circa 2009. We ran into each other by accident and had a brief chat. It ended with him putting a $20 bill in my pocket and telling me, “Take Danielle Berrin out for drinks.”
So I raise my caffeine-free Diet Pepsi to you, Danielle, and godspeed on your travels.
