:: In Hollywood with Lisa Johnson Thank God She's Fabulous! Although Lisa Johnson lives in the shadow of Beverly Hills, she takes great pride in the fact that she has - so far - resisted the urge to do the plastic surge. Nor is she on the verge of anything that requires mood-altering prescription drugs. In fact, the closest she has come to the rank of 'Rodeo Drive regular' is as the author of How to Snare a Millionaire , a popular and hopefully humorous tome for which she has appeared on Dr. Phil and been featured in the New York Times. Lisa was born on the Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp; her favorite color is periwinkle; she loves dogs, cats and lemurs; and, foods that begin with the letter 'A.' She is also proud to admit that her card-carrying, entertainment professional standing - which includes being a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association - is directly tied to having schlepped her way to the middle. In addition to using her degree in journalism as an excuse to ask famous people embarrassing questions, Lisa occasionally teaches classes on the subject that are more like three-hour stand-up routines. Lisa has also been involved in every aspect of filmmaking, from production to casting to "acting" to writing to publicizing. When she is not putting together entertainment news reports for various television and radio station clients, Lisa may occasionally be found reminding the appropriate persons that she is available as a date for any upcoming award ceremony or charity function.   :: Thank God It's Fabulous!
