Gigi and her husband separated after three years. She moved to the Fairfax District of Los Angeles and developed a strong relationship with Canter’s Deli (chicken soup) and Formosa Café (mai tais). She signed up for membership at Sports Club L.A., and spent several years at the “disco” before becoming a reformed funk-aerobicist.

After her divorce, Gigi wrote a spec feature script which was optioned. She found happiness living in an apartment with no furniture except for a bed on the floor, a Radio Shack computer, and a card table.

Gigi met her future husband, Brian Grazer, by accident at Orlando-Orsini on Pico at a lunch with a Playboy executive. She had seen him earlier in a magazine entwined with a supermodel and so, upon meeting him, took great pleasure in deriding his taste in women. Her future husband seemed to like this. She had a first date with Brian the following Friday- they each drank one-and-a-half margaritas – which kept them together for 17 years. They have since divorced but remain good friends and are happily raising their family together.

She is a proud mother of two young boys, proud stepmother to two grown children, and proud auntie to three nephews and one niece.

Gigi Levangie Grazer has written numerous screenplays, among them the movie “Step-mom,” starring Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon.

Her first novel, Rescue Me , was published by Simon and Schuster in June 2000. Her next novel, Maneater, was published by Simon & Schuster in June 2003. The Starter Wife her third novel, was published in June, 2005.

And yes, she is tired
