AT A GLANCE.

What book is currently on your nightstand?

I don't have time for books, but I do subscribe to The New Yorker, and I like to read the poetry first.

What charity or cause are you passionate about?

I am always concerned about shelter, especially shelter for abused women.

What's the first thing you do when you get home after a long day at work?

Unfortunately, I head for the refrigerator [she laughs].

What vacation spot is on your bucket list?

Nagasaki... the home of Puccini where he wrote Madame Butterfly, which is of course one of my favorite...
