Film, video and commercial producer Sharon Oreck joins us to discuss her humorous book, Video Slut. The book chronicles her life as a music video producer in the '80s, working with stars like Madonna, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson.
Sharon Oreck has stories to tell you about the sixteen years she worked as a producer of big-time music videos. Like the doves on a Prince video that flew into a large fan and eviscerated themselves. Or the transvestite hookers who shut down a Janet Jackson clip. Or the lion that nearly mauled Madonna during the "Like a Virgin" shoot because the singer was menstruating. Or the time that Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe offered a grip two thousand dollars to eat a booger.
