Gigi Levangie Grazer

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where she lived for the majority of her life on the Eastside of Hollywood in a an area littered with donut shops and gas stations and graffiti. Her childhood was brightened when she was voted Class Clown at LeConte Junior High.

Gigi was a student at Hollywood High where she was a cheerleader for all three years of attendance; she was known for having the loudest mouth. She was voted Class Legs in her senior year after what she surmises as much deliberation on behalf of her fellow students.

Later attended U.C.L.A. where she majored in Political Science and clubbing. Never joined a sorority as (a) she couldn’t afford to, and (b) could not stand authority, especially in the form of smug rich kids. When asked what “house” she was in by frat boys, she replied, “My mother’s house.”

In her senior year, she took the LSAT in order to apply to law school. At the same time, Gigi was working for legendary TV guru, Fred Silverman, who offered her a title and raise to dissuade her from further education, including law school. The offer worked. Gigi worked for Fred Silverman for eight years, developing and writing television shows.
