Tragedy struck my life when my very active, much beloved grandmother had a massive stroke. I packed my suitcase and relocated to Laguna Beach to be nearby, when I got a call the same day. I had booked a week on Seinfeld. Something to do with Calvin Klein and Kramer…. I first said no. But my family had me call my agent back.

“Are you insane? She (my grandmother) would murder you if she thought you turned down a television show for something as minor as a stroke.” They were right. My grandmother, a Christian Scientist, didn’t believe in illness. To her, none of this is real. It’s true, she would be angry if I didn’t take the offer. And thank God I made the call in time.

My week on Seinfeld is one of the highlights in my life — I got away from the crazy people surrounding my grandmother’s stroke and threw myself at the kindness of strangers. I mean Jerry. The star of Seinfeld actually saved my sanity that particular week.

10 Take Aways From My Week on Seinfeld.

1. Jerry is friendly, a flirt, likes cereal and cared about my grandmother!*

2. Jason Alexander is a mentalist. **

3. Kramer is Kramer is Michael Richards. And he must be handled.***
