Laurel Woods worked at ILM and Lucasfilm for 7 years in the 90’s. She is one of my dearest friends. Her story is incredible and includes; a dad who owned strip clubs in LA, Star Wars, UCSB, working as an office assistant at Playboy, ILM computer graphics, Lucasfilm, a murder for hire, visiting prison on holidays, MTV, stalking Carrie Fisher, SCUBA diving, Tunisia, writing a memoir, and working for CORE in LA doing COVID-19 testing.

Laurel’s journey takes her across the US and around the globe. She’s easily one of the most incredible people I know.
