Congrats to Mira and Paul Sorvino!

She is an excellent actress. In fact - she won an Oscar for playing a prostitute in Woody Allen's film "Mighty Aphrodite." She is tall, blond, yet - the tabloids are not following her.


Why not? Simply because she is married happily, a mother to four kids. The youngest one, Lucia was just born yesterday. Mira Sorvino has also enjoyed warm relationship with her actor-dad Paul ("Good Fellows"). No scandals - means no cover stories in the media. So what if she won the Academy Award? Even Angelina - leaning on Brad (Pitt) - needed to expose her leg out in the last awards' ceremony.


Even the actress who occupies cover pages of the magazines around the world, needed a gimmick to steal more attention. Making peace with her actor-dad (Jon Voight) and smiling with Brad were not enough in the era of new-immediate-media.


I met Paul Sorvino for an interview, and remained friends with him. He is a down to earth guy, great cook, proud dad. His eyes were teary, when he told me, how, "Mira saved my life ..." She made her then over-weight dad, who suffered from Diabetes B, to change his eating habits, his health regiment.


My friend Dr. Mark Hyman just published a book about the danger of Diabetes B, called: "Sugar Blood Solution." Clinton - whom I introduced to Mark, endorsed the book happily. Mark and Paul say: It is SO important to educate Americans (and people around the world) about eating right, exercising and so on.


I joked with Paul, over the lunch, that his story, his family, is, "too positive ..." He started to sing in the middle of the restaurant in Beverly Hills. What an operatic voice! NOW - that got every one's "attention": The word most Hollywood players are starving for.


Still - Paul is filming a movie in New York these days. "Mira is working ... She has done great work against illegal trafficking," adds a proud father, Paul. And - she just had her forth baby.
There are many good actors, directors, producers in the film industry, one doesn't read about daily. But they are still working, and generating jobs for others.


Congrats to Mira and Paul.
