Agnes Nicole Winter and I share a very unique BFF relationship, especially in this town of gossip and sometimes backstabbers.

The first time I met Agnes Nicole, Actress, Film Producer, Writer and Philanthropist. I was intimidated by her beauty and somehow I thought she might be a little stuck up and I did not know that she has a great sense of humor.We attend Red Carpets events, charity balls and we work together in the movies. There is absolutely no jealousy between us, we help each other in business and in friendship.

As a matter of facts we run things by each other before we pursue them.

 We enjoy going to the spa together, lunches, and I make a great Cappuccino with my semi-industrial machine. When she comes to my home, my husband Ron plays piano for us .

Our friendship bonded when she was going through her divorce and had to move from her Beverly Hills home and needed a place for her dog Ruffy. She was moving to a Penthouse and pets were not allowed. She came to me asking if I knewsomeone who could take care of Ruffy. I already have 2 Jack Russels, Martini and Tequila.

I had co-starred with Ruffy in the movie “The Gold and the Beautiful”, produced byAgnes Nicole. I love all animals andI decided then and there to help a friend in need and take in this beautiful creature. Now Agnes Nicole is happy that she can visit Ruffy anytime she wants to. Ruffy is continuing to be on screen and most recently in the very successful TV series “Swedish Hollywood wives”.

Like Dionne Warwick sang      “That’s what friends are for….”
