Lala's done it: her failed-screenplay-turned-successful-novel is about to be made into a movie. In Paris! With a Hollywood bad boy as the lead!

But the City of Lights can only offer so much respite from the petrifying decisions that await Lala back in the City of Angels. It's an ocean away from her boyfriend, David, with whom she is becoming alarmingly close (as in, tying-the-knot-close).

For every leading lady who got her start later in life, Lala Pettibone screams a hilarious "Yes!" to joie de vivre at any age.
