I came from a poor family in Coney Island. I learned to write by reading the Post. This was my education. I had a learning disability, so I didnt get a chance to go to school. I was a messenger and I saw these people on Madison Avenue with their feet up on the desk, and I thought, Thats a good job.
I came into advertising in 1961. I had been turned down for jobs on the Ford account in the late fifties as not their type. If it hadnt been for Bill Bernbach, I would now be sitting in some luncheonette, continuing my life as a messenger. Grey Advertising and Doyle Dane Bernbach opened it up. They brought in a whole group of hot young creative people, Jewish and Italian. The Jews were all copywriters, Italians were all art directors. I broke the mold. The first Italian copywriter.
Actually, I was hard-core unemployable. I could never really work for anybody -- and so in 1967 I started my own agency and became, as my assistant told me, a publicity slut. I became far better known than I should have been. I was the first advertising person who people could identify with. I write a book, From Those Wonderful Folks Who Brought You Pearl Harbor. Its out three weeks, and they tell me its dead. The next morning, I do the Today show and I have nothing to lose. So I lose it. I just go crazy. The book makes the best-seller list, which is all I wanted in my life.
Eventually, I sold the agency to the English for a lot more than it was worth. I did all right, but it was not the way to leave the advertising business, to take the money and run. So I want to come back, but in the meantime Ive got to do something. So I go to East Hampton and start the restaurants. Eight months later, someone from Newsweek is sitting in my restaurant, calls me over, and says, I love this food; I want to give you my account. Ive got the Newsweek account, and I start putting it back together.
Im dealing with kids in their twenties now. My job is to be as immature as they are. I hear too many people screaming and crying about what a terrible business its become. Thats because theyre not in it any more. Or if theyre in it, theyre not as important as they were. Its a different generation now. Most of the people in advertising now -- mention Bill Bernbach to them, they dont know. Its really silly to believe that ten days after you leave the business, anyone is going to care about you. I am a temporary amusement.

Vicky Pattison grapples with a revealing wedding dress that leaves her on the verge of a "nip slip" in an upcoming episode of Say Yes To The Dress UK.
The former Geordie Shore star, who appears on the programme to pick out a bridal gown with the help of royal wedding dress designer David Emanuel, says that she is "quite a sexy person" and does not want to be "average" on her big day.
Viewers will see Pattison, who became engaged to her partner John Noble last summer, trying on a £6,900 wedding dress in the episode, which will air on Friday on TLC.
However, the TV star is told by Emanuel – who is best known for designing the wedding dress worn by Diana, Princess of Wales – that the figure-hugging, low-cut item is not suitable for her.
Pattison says, gesturing to her breasts: "It's not screaming bride to me. I hate what it's doing to the ladies."
Emanuel agrees, and says: "No, it's too much."
Pattison says: "I didn't want this much drama or this much body!
"I want class, I want to ooze sophistication, I want to literally give birth to elegance as I walk down that aisle.
"I can't go walking down the aisle in this!"
She jokes that the dress "shows off what I had for breakfast", while her friend warns her: "It's on the verge of a nip slip."
Pattison adds: "I didn't think you could be too sexy, but for your wedding day you definitely can be."
The episode will see Pattison joined by her mother Carol and her bridesmaid Ferne McCann, with whom she appeared in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015, as she tries on an array of gowns to find her perfect one.
Following her stint on Geordie Shore, Pattison won I'm A Celebrity and in 2016 acted as a regular panellist for ITV daytime show Loose Women.
Say Yes To The Dress UK airs on Friday at 9pm on TLC.

Former GOP presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Rick Santorum has accepted the position as CEO of the Dallas-based Christian film company EchoLight Studios, saying in a statement that he believes that in a similar way to politics, entertainment can work to reinforce one's religious values.
"This is the right place and right time, and I've jumped in with both feet," Santorum said in recent press release by EchoLight, which describes itself as "America's fastest-growing faith & family film company."
"I often say that culture is upstream from politics, and I know entertainment also can be strength and light for people who want to be uplifted and reinforced in their values," Santorum added.
Santorum, who has spent the past year working with EchoLight to develop its brand, went on to state that he believes Dallas can become "the Hollywood of the faith-and-family movie market," and he hopes to continue building and expanding the Christian film industry to create an "authentic product truthful to the faith in people's lives."
The former senator from Pennsylvania announced his new position as the company' CEO while speaking on former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's Fox program, "The Huckabee Show."
Santorum added in an emailed statement to Patriot Voices, a website he launched in 2012, that he believes it is important for the Christian film industry to have a greater impact on America's youth than the morals associated with many mainstream Hollywood films.
"For too long, Hollywood has had a lock on influencing the youth of this country with a flawed message that goes against our values. Now, we can change that," Santorum said.
EchoLight Studios, which has released eight films since its 2011 founding, describes itself as the "first movie company to produce, finance, market and distribute faith-based, family films across all releasing platforms."
The company currently has four films in post-production, including "The Redemption of Henry Myers," which is slated to hit theaters this fall.
Santorum has long been expressive of his Catholic beliefs and his desire to stay true to his moral convictions in politics, such as opposing same-sex marriage, birth control, as well as seeking to protect religious freedom in the workplace.
The former GOP presidential candidate, who also officially endorsed Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential election, told The Wall Street Journal that while working at EchoLight he will do everything from read scripts to arrange meetings with influential conservative and Christian leaders.
Bobby Downes, a former missionary who founded EchoLight in 2011, told the WSJ that the marketing, production and distribution company hopes to tap into the extensive church network in the U.S.
"There are 328 churches in North America, with 70-100 people in each church, that's a 90 million person reach," Downes told the WSJ.
"Hollywood cannot buy that network and we feel like that's what Jesus did, through movies we are reaching out to people and making sure to take care of them," Downes added.

I have a serious project on the cards this week that I am aiming to get finished by Wednesday (tomorrow!!! aaaarrrrgh!!!). For the past seven weeks, I have been working on a knitted lace shawl as part of a Winter knit-a-long at Gather DTLA. It has been a seriously steep learning curve as it is my first lacework project and has been super difficult to do so far. I have had a good few mishaps along the way, but if nothing else, it has taught me how to be more patient! I have really enjoyed my time with it so far and the final finished product will , undoubtably, be beautiful. I don't think I really realised what I was getting myself in for when I signed up for the class but I'm so pleased that I did. I have made some lovely new friends (including a puppy named Skuli), discovered a new part of LA, learnt a new way of knitting (by following a pattern) and also gained a better understanding of basic knitting itself. As much as I have wanted to rip it out and re-start the project several times, I'm so glad that I've had my little angels on my shoulder telling me not to (thank you Evi and PC!) I'm really excited for it to be finished so that I can move onto a new project and start the next knit-a-long.

Who's been sleeping in my house?
A new ABC TV program on tracing the history of your house will commence in August 2011. This show will no doubt be as popular with family history buffs as the show "Who do you think you are"? ...this is the Next Big Thing! The show will be presented by Melbourne-based archaeologist and cultural heritage expert Adam Ford. This eight-part series will be supported by a website which will give viewers tips and tricks to trace the history of their own homes. The history of homes is one of the most popular questions that we receive at the Sam Merrifield library, people love to know if there is something special about their home. On a personal level I am looking forward to any new clues or tips on this topic.
