Imaginary Mary: Jenna Elfman takes EW's Pop Culture Personality Quiz
I had another one with Al Pacino when I was 18 at my very first Hollywood party and I was a dancer in TV and film. I was there because I had just danced in a music video and the director had invited me. I had no education in social nuance at Hollywood parties at all. I was just sitting by myself because I didn’t know anybody, and he pulled up a chair next to me and said, “Well, hello, who are you?” And I did not know how to talk to Al Pacino, as an 18-year-old. I proceeded to talk about how I was from the Valley and [in Valley girl voice], “I go to Cal State Northridge, and there’s like so many Valley girls there with white VW Rabbits and pink windshield wipers, and it’s so lame. I can’t wait to get out of the Valley and move to Hollywood so I can really be an artist.” That’s what I said. And he just looked at me like I had an IQ of 10 and nodded, and stood up and walked away. -- Entertainment Weekly

California State University Campuses Lead the Way in Innovative Inclusion Efforts
Leadership at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) knows communication is key to ensuring the success of a diverse student body.
