Have BD call on your behalf.

Hire Zonker as press-agent and assistant.

I think most real stars must have these kinds of “yeah, right” stories from phone calls. I read Kirk Douglas’ autobiography, and one story was when his driver once accidentally took off without him, and he tried to get the police in the next city to stop him, and they just went “yeah, right.” Another when he tried to hire a girl for a job (she seemed much like a Boopsie type starlet from the description), she’d just seen “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea,” thought someone was pranking her, and then she insisted that he should sing the “A Whale of a Tale” song to prove he was him.

Have Hunk-Ra call. He isn’t Boopsie, just inhabits her body.

Chet Atkins used to tell a story about how he was on a cruise ship, vacationing, and there was a guitarist playing in the bar. Atkins borrowed the person’s guitar and played a couple of songs. Afterwards somebody came up to him and said, “You’re pretty good, but you’re no Chet Atkins.”

Just say you’re publicist John Barron, calling on behalf of Miss Boopstein.

Amazingly,Boopsie was NOT in “Slimeball babes at the Bowl-O-Rama”.

“Have your people call my people.”

Sid!!! Calling Sid…

Doesn’t she already have an agent?

I recall an actress saying that she’d call up for reservations or whatever, and pretend to be her own assistant for that reason.

I was once involved in a Charity Fund Raiser for Kids.

One celebrity they called to invite to participate was John Wayne.

He answered his own phone.
