Hollywood Romance Poem by Leah Tunkara
2022 update: Coming to America #2 is very funny. Eddie Murphy? Years ago, SEEN a TV SHOW on the Island of Maui called EDDIE MURPHY ONE NIGHT ONLY. This was a amazing production. The highlights for me were Stevie Wonder & Eddie singing together, Russell Brand he wasn't that good, but he's my favorite Comic's today. Keenen Ivory Wayans gave the most heartfelt story. Now that I recall, working on the PARAMOUNT LOT the TV show IN LIVING COLOR was filmed there, yeah that along with Cheers, Star Trek the Next Generation and Eddie Murphy's 'Coming to America'. This film's working title was called THE ZAMBIA PROJECT. The last highlight for me, of last night's show was the surprise of that white guy doing Eddie's song 'PARTY ALL THE TIME' this program AIRED ON SPIKE TV bring back so many memories for me made me just want to start writing. We have a saying in Hollywood. "DROPPING NAMES". Made me want to 'drop names'! because I worked with, befriended, fucked, loved or just in passing so many people with Fame, I thought it be fun to drop names of the 'FAMOUS ONES' one day. Will I DO IT TODAY? maybe not, but later when I have the time.
notes by Leah Tunkara Nov.15, 2012, This writing is for my own enjoyment more than anyone else's. Pluss, it helps me to recall shit that I forget all the time. If I do not write your name down, I will forget it and sure in hell I will not know how to spell it.
(I'll make corrections later) Your fame is relative to the time and space you live in. For example, I have Shaked Steven Spielberg hand and even George Lucas. but few people know what George Lucas looks like, however his fame in Hollywood was top dog, yet he is hardly as well-known as Stevie Wonder. I'm more famous on Maui then Nina Simone, but not more famous than her worldwide. So, fame is very relative. No matter how famous you are there is somebody even a 'great number of people' that do not know who the fuck you are!
I love it when people come up to me on Maui and tell me how great my show is, but this will never go to my head, for one reason is because I've been schooled by folks' way more famous than myself, an #2 have a funny way of looking at things.
Dropping Names.
Buddha, prophet Muhammad, JC, Krishna, Abraham, Confucius.
I think it's safe to say, that few or 'none of us' will make eh name for our self as big the names mentioned above.

Dropping Names: by Leah , pick -up story of Nov.19, 2012
The first star I had ever met backstage was Curtis Mayfield. I was about 9 years old, and I ask him where his little girl was. I had been looking at her in one of his Albums.
He looks down at me with eh big smile & said something sweet.
In my lifetime. I've been kissed on the forehead by Marvin Gaye and chastised by Maya Angelou. The first soundcheck I ever been to was Stevie Wonder's. Now how I came to take pictures of the Black Bull in HIS HOME? I'll go into that another day.
I do not think it's a thing that I make happen, it's just what happens without even trying.
If I do not list your name don't be mad at me.
I'm just joking. I cannot begin to name all the actors and stars I met working on over 65 movie sets in Hollywood. I'll just try to list the ones that I have TALK TO or been to their home or something. James Earl Jones, Director Roman Polanski, Nina Simone, Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Diahann Carroll, Eartha Kitt.
Played chess with Terrence Dashon Howard at his home many years ago and he told me I should be a music producer. It kills me how so many actors want to be musicians.
Now I respect the work I seen Terrence do and to watch him on the big screen, I think he's just the most beautiful bad boy in the world, but up close and personal? the only natual thing to do with him is to play chess. Lesson leant is you can be turned on by a person's image on the screen but in person if they feel more like an uncle to you...
You are gonna listen to him and love him with that kind of love and nothing more.
I have had it happen another way around, where in "I am not a fan of your work or music, I just like YOU!"
So, my walk of fame is eh very instressing one and I'll write more about it later.
