I tried to scan in the article from the Hollywood Reporter, but my OCR program aint performing. However there is another article in USA TODAY. Although it don't mention MDCE (this sucks) it does talk about Harold Robbins: A new chapter for Robbins' widow "I'm not penniless. I'm not destitute. But I do have to work." That's Jann Robbins talking. She's the wife of Harold Robbins, the novelist who paved the way for the likes of Sidney Sheldon and Jackie Collins. He died last year at 81 after selling some 750 million copies of his 25 novels. But he lived a wildly extravagant life. "That's the reason why I loved him so much," says Jann, 46, recalling how she would go to the grocery store and come back to find that Robbins had bought a Rolls-Royce over the phone. "He had a great sense of style." But now, she says, "there's not scads and scads of money." So she's trying to remind people that Robbins' last work, The Predators, is just out (Forge, $24.95). It's the book that took Robbins "out of his pain" just before his death. He had two hip replacements, a femur replacement and a broken knee. Jann's way out of her pain over his death is to carry on his work. She starts pre-production next week on The Legacy, a script the two worked on. She hints that there are "two or three" unpublished works Robbins wrote that could see the light of day at some point. And she's writing her own story of their life together, starting in 1982 when she interviewed to be his assistant. "The secretary took me upstairs, she opens these big double doors, and there's this huge bedroom with mirrored ceilings and a white satin sofa. He's sitting in the middle of this huge bed, smoking a cigarette, having a cup of coffee and wearing his red jockey shorts." What did she think? "I thought, 'I'm really in Hollywood.'" Yes, she says, "we had quite a life." They were together 17 years, married six. "I always say it was like 50 years of marriage, we went through so many things together. There was never a dull moment." By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY Rob D.
