As I toured through Japan, China, Germany, Asia, Canada, France, Hungary, Greece and so on, I collected souveniers from each country. Like when i went to Japan I bought a fan and a ancient gorgeous teapot. And when I went to Korea, I bought a collection of the dolls so that one day my children would play with them.

Although some if it was a drag, the early 1980's gave me the chance to start doing movies like I did as a teenager. I had gotten to work with some stars that had given me inpiration.

If it was truly over of Michael and I, if we needed a break...I figured I would try to find ways to distract myself. And I started the acting scene again.

I'll never forget when I saw him at the AMA's with Brooke Shields for the first time. Clearly my wounds weren't healed and it hurt. And I thought to myself  " it's really over, I have to move on."

And I met someone. A fellow actor. You could say he was a bit of a distraction. And I went into the relationship thinking "will there ever be a man that amounts to michael?" I didn't know. But I didn't want to pretend like I was blind anymore.

He was gentle, caring and a little shy. I had began to live on my own in Los Angeles and he would frequently come visit when we weren't too busy. It felt bittersweet to be in a relationship. I knew he could tell I was at a low point when we went steady...and he stayed by my side.
