Sean Smith, former L.A. bureau chief of Entertainment Weekly and former writer for Newsweek:

Writing about Hollywood is like being a reporter at Disneyland. At first, you can’t believe that you get to spend every day in The Happiest Place on Earth. Everyone wants to ask you about your work. You’re surrounded by princesses, and the sky sparkles with pixie dust. But as the years go on, you learn about the oily machinery that manufactures all that enchantment. You see what Cinderella’s really like when that glass slipper comes off. And then one day you notice that the magic is gone, and all you’re left with is a small, small world.

After thirteen years as an entertainment journalist, Smith has given away almost everything he owns, and at 43, joined the Peace Corps.
