This came to me as a shock this morning....Shiva used to be in an acting class with me at California State Universioty, Northridge. She always had impeccable style and she used to wear vintage clothes all the time. All the guys liked her and all the girls were jealous of her. We could just tell that she was going to go onto an amazing life...and I was shocked to discover this morning that she has...from a friend of mine who was in the acting class and who used to work in a store next to Betsy Johnson and hang out with her. I remember she was very nice.....Yes, my friends and I saw this and we were eating our envy rags....what a life, huh? looks like I was sitting on the wrong side of the class...--Victoria
I met Shiva during the filming of a short film my friend made which she starred in. Back then I was a struggling photographer and she was so friendly and beautiful, I asked if I could photograph her for my book. We did some black and white fashion shots which to this day remain in my book. She's a warm, intelligent and friendly person and I'll never forget the day she told me she met this wonderful guy named Dylan McDermott. Years later, after I moved to New York I realized she married him and had a child with him. Lucky girl, but he's pretty lucky too. --JJ
