rom Dater's Handbook with Brittney Wilson and Lynda Boyd
Rachael Leigh Cook was really awesome to work with.

I was kinda glad when I got to shave my beard …show more content…
There are not too many who have the limelight bequeathed to them on a golden platter, and for the select few for whom that does happen, they typically become the prima donnas and pompous jerks of the industry. You know, the ones you frequently read about in the
