In the mid-’80s, when she was 19, Hansen moved to L.A and accepted a post looking after three children whose father just happened to be one of the most powerful men in Hollywood: super-agent Michael Ovitz. John Travolta and Tom Cruise would regularly call the house, Dustin Hoffman and Paul Newman would drop by for private screenings and the family went on vacations with the likes of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. So far, so fabulous. But what seemed like a dream job quickly became a nightmare: too shy to negotiate a fair contract, Suzanne found herself on call at all hours of the day and night — except for her weekends off, when she was stranded in her room. She also found her employers had very little respect for her, the work she did, or even their own children. But when she thought about quitting, things turned even nastier… Deliciously gossipy proof that truth is stranger than fiction.
Get yours.
