It was a really big deal, and Phil has been called one of the most influential music producers of all time! Since all of the biggest artists wanted to work with him, the producer became very egotistical the older he grew the more eccentric, erratic, and violent his behavior became. Phil had discovered a method of layering music, and this sounded better on the radio than anything which had been discovered thus far. By the age of 21 Phil was a millionaire not only was he an accomplished song writer and musician himself, but he invented what is known as The Wall Of Sound.
As a teenager he was in a musical group called The Teddy Bears Phil wrote a song called To Know Him Is To Love Him, the name of which had actually been taken from the epitaph engraved on his father’s tombstone. When he was only 8, Phil’s daddy had committed suicide. There’s no denying that the musical genius had some serious demons. Sadly, as Lana was about to discover, Phil was much like a grenade who’s pin had just been pulled – he was very soon to explode. If that weren’t bad enough, she accidentally misgendered Phil – Lana addressed the celebrity as “Ma’am”! Once the actress was informed as to whom she had been interacting with, she apologized profusely and, as it was her job to cater to each VIP patron’s slightest whim, that’s exactly what she did. Phil was an exceedingly wealthy music legend in his sixties, but Lana had absolutely no clue who the heck he was so she refused him entry. In the very early hours of Monday, February 3rd of 2003, less than a hour before closing time, a celebrity by the name of Phil Spector walked into the club and attempted to enter the VIP area. Lana had not been working here too long, but it seemed to be a great fit for her though she officially made only $9 an hour, celebrities tended to tip pretty well, and Lana had hoped to meet the right people while there.
Due to this, the actress took on a job as a hostess at the famous House Of Blues nightclub on the Sunset Strip her job had been to take good care of the VIP guests in a special area called The Foundation Room where LA’s biggest celebrities were known frequent. Though she’d been the leading lady in many B rated movies and played small roles in a handful of well known films, at 40 years of age Lana was still awaiting her big break.
But Lana was so much more than a pretty face friends remember her as an intelligent woman with a wicked sense of humor she had been outgoing, caring, friendly, and the life of the party wherever she went. She was a statuesque blonde who stood at 6 foot tall, and drop dead gorgeous. Had you seen her while out and about, it would have been nearly impossible not to notice Lana Clarkson.
