AUTHOR BIOS
Angela Bertolino came to Hollywood from her hometown of Sacramento, CA, in the 1990s, and quickly immersed herself in the world of Hollywood by going out on casting calls with the hopes of perhaps one day becoming a Hollywood icon or maybe a writer or producer. Instead, she ultimately founded Hollywood OS® (Hollywood Operating System®) with aspiring actress/model Carla Lewis (who has since gone on to become a top casting agent), which today is regarded as the one-stop information source for those seeking a career as a Hollywood actor or extra, or even those who just want to learn more about how the “Hollywood jungle” operates.
