Throwback Thursday, magazine edition 3/11/21


 

My 1985 interview with Michael Damian, the Y&R star who had just then released his first album, in Close-Up magazine. This may have been my third, or fourth professional interview ever. Editors Angie Colgoni and Libby Starke of Close-Up did more to kick start my magazine writing career in those days than anyone else, and I'm grateful to this day for the kindness and patience they showed a 23-year old keener with more ambition than restraint.

As for Mr. Damian himself—he was fun and unpretentious, and had the best 1985 hair of anyone I'd ever met.
