I actually heard about this several years ago, and was mesmerized by the thought of an artist hiding, working daily, never seeing her own worth. Now, in the midst of my own self evaluation, while I cannot call myself an artist, I can honestly say that I have tucked my creativity away for most of my life.
A Novel Woman, AKA Pamela Patchet, was unwittingly born and raised in Toronto instead of Paris. She worked her way from A&W carhop to political advisor to advertising executive where, on any given day, she was called upon to soothe disgruntled clients, cajole temperamental artists, juggle multi-million dollar budgets or locate trained penguins for television commercials. She married a handsome dentist for love and a lifetime of free dental care, raised three kids, and established a freelance writing career, not unlike her earlier jobs, minus the penguins.

So what, exactly, are you waiting for?
I would love to see this doc. Fascinating!
