Are you an actor? Are you a recovering actor? Do you love (or like) Lifetime Television? But more importantly, do you feel that you deserve your own Lifetime Intimate Portrait? So did I. But I couldn't wait around for Lifetime to get their shit together, so I made my own!

A Really Intimate Portrait... Of a complete unknown
A parody of Lifetime Television's Intimate Portrait series. A real look at the frivolous, and
marginal accomplishments of a nobody, who, by the end of the show, will
look like a somebody. A Really Intimate Portrait ... Of a complete
unknown poses the question: 'How can you be a has-been if you've never
been'?
Reviews
“Dani Alpert's A Really Intimate Portrait...of a Complete Unknown
offered herself as the subject of Lifetime's gushingly soft-focus
Intimate Portrait series, which does for women what VH-1's Behind the
Music does for rock stars... She caught the tone of the Lifetime series
dead-on, and the friends she recruited to talk about her not-so-famous
life (most of them struggling Hollywood actors themselves) were a
scream. Alpert may not be famous, but she is funny, and that's enough.” --Chris Kaltenbach, Baltimore Sun
"Comedian Dani Alpert offers a truly inspired takeoff on "Lifetime's
Intimate Portrait series", one with shades of that giant of all
mockumentaries, "Spinal Tap." Ms. Alpert's success is
portrayed as resting on a rather slim reed- mainly her experience as
director of the annual high school musical. One of her real-life
associates, comic Julia Sweeney, appears as a fawning interviewee." --
Judy Oppenheimer, The Baltimore Jewish Times
“Dani has crafted a sophisticated skewering of the cozy celebrity TV
bio, and in so doing manages to be twice as interesting and ten times
funnier than the form's typical real-life subjects. Witty, engaging, and
sweetly sharp, she's a new comic voice to reckon with.”
-Don Roos, Writer/Director, Web Therapy, The Opposite of Sex, Happy Endings
