When I first moved here to L.A. back in 2000, I used to work for the catering company behemoth, Patina Catering. At some point, I began working with the young lady pictured above: Stephanie Courtney. Her sister, Jennifer, worked there, too, and is also very talented. I once went to see them perform a show they wrote called, Those Courtney Girls. It was terrific. I now look at Stephanie's success as the spokesperson for Progressive Insurance and think to myself: One's dream(s) can indeed happen for him/her as long as he/she stays the course. Persistence is EVERYTHING! Absolutely EVERYTHING! Stephanie's current success makes me feel like she's Debra Winger in the last scene from An Officer And A Gentleman when Richard Gere comes back and whisks her away from her horrible factory job! That easily could have been Stephanie and her cater-waiter friends. Progressive came in and scooped her up, leaving all the other waiters behind to envy her lucky ass shout, "Way to go, Stephanie! Way to go!"
