Mamarazzi made her way to Hollywood last month! I got the awesome opportunity to spend the morning on the set with Eileen Cox Baker, the Costume Designer for the hit television drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Photographer Michael Asmar from Joie De Vivre Photographie and I were given a tour of the CSI set, from the autopsy room all the way to Captain Brass’s office. We had an amazing time getting to meet actors Laurence Fishburne, George Eades and Marg Helgenberger and watching them film some scenes for the show. Marg Helgenberger, who plays the role of Catherine Willows, was kind enough to take a photo with me. You may also recognize Marg from her role as K.C. Koloski in the ABC drama China Beach. Be sure and check out the April/May issue of élite Magazine and take a moment to read about Eileen Cox Baker and her job as a Costume Designer on CSI.
Saugus residents Camille, a sophomore at Saugus High School, and Bailey, eighth grader at Arroyo Seco Junior High, spotted musician Rihanna while they were vacationing in Cabo San Lucas a few months back. Camille and Bailey were swimming with the dolphins along with the famous singer. “Rihanna was nice enough to pose with us after,” states Camille and Bailey.
