In a Few Words...
Which talent would you most like to have? It would be better if I could cook better, and by better, I mean cook anything at all. I could use a little bit of help in that world.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Being able to have good friends and good times at work.
I am happy that I am able to make new friends, and work with old friends on each project. I love being able to have some seriously good laughs, even in the crazy times.
Which word or phrase do you most overuse? I might have been using the phrase, "Everyday I'm Hustling" a bit too much recently.
What do you look for on the Craft Services table? I wish I could say a healthier choice, but usually Diet Coke and maybe a granola bar. I have been known to sample a doughnut upon occasion.
Please name a benefit of being an SDSA member. I have really enjoyed being part of the SDSA, and being able to meet up with everyone. It is a great network of people to be able to share ideas and experiences! Its great to catch-up in-person, instead of the usual running past each other in the prop house rush. The Business Members information is super helpful. The SDSA website is really great to be able to see people's work, as well as the benefits from the resources list.
The SDSA is great for bringing people together who share common professional experiences. Its great to know that you can get support and have laughs with others who know what you are going through!

LENNIE MARVIN
It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Lennie Marvin.
Lennie passed peacefully in his sleep the evening of March 29th at the
Motion Picture Health Facility in Woodland Hills.
In addition to being the founder of Lennie Marvin’s Prop Heaven and a talented

always treated as family and we will all miss him very much.
