Danielle Steel

This story is about Allegra Steinberg who wanted to go into law, and she had thought she might want to be an actress. This wouldn’t surprise any one in her family, but it wouldn’t necessarily have pleased them. Her mother, Blaire Scoott, had written and produced one of the most successful shows on television for nine years. It was a comedy, well peppered with serious moments,and some occasional real life drama. Her father, Simon Steinberg, was a major movie producer and had made some of Hollywood’s most important movies. He had won three academy awards over the years.
More importantly, he was that rarest of commodities in Hollywood, a nice man, a gentleman, a truly decent human being. They worked hard and had a real family, who they devoted a lot of their time to.
Allegra had a seventeen year old sister who was a senior in high school and a model and also had one brother, Scott, a junior at Stanford, who seemed to have escaped show business entirely. He was premed?, and all he wanted in life was to be a doctor.
Scott had seen enough of show business in his twenty years, and he even thought Allegra was crazy to be an entertainment lawyer. Allegra smiled to her self, thinking of him and listening to the last of brawn’s? song.
Unlike Brown, who was in his late thirties and had been around the music business for twenty years, seemed to be constantly beset by problems, used to call Allegra just to talk about problems she was having on the set, or sometimes just for comfort.
Allegra loved practicing law and particularly enjoyed the field of entertainment.
