"Well," I say, after taking another drag. "I guess I should start by telling you my real name isn't Verna Malloy. It's Verna May Mallard. I had to change it once I became a big Hollywood star ."
"You're from Kansas?" asked Dr. Tully. Verna nodded.
"Yup. Born and raised. I came to Hollywood when I was 16, with my first husband. He was going to open a restaurant here, but it never worked out."
"I see. And what happened after that?"
"Well, first I cheated on him with this greasy auto mechanic named Harry, then I asked for a divorce. After that, I started getting work as an extra."
