本刊記者查德·李采訪了名人私人助理培訓(xùn)部主任麗貝卡·坦。李:麗貝卡,你們?yōu)槊伺嘤?xùn)私人助理，你們教學(xué)員什么呢？坦:第一條規(guī)則：尊重名人隱私。假如你不能為他們保密，你就會丟掉飯碗。決不能告訴別人，你為誰工作，都做些什么。李:隱私為何這樣主要？坦:由于名人不想在雜志上看到相關(guān)自己私生活報道。李:那人們?nèi)绾尾鸥蛇M(jìn)一步理解這個職業(yè)呢？他們沒機會與業(yè)內(nèi)人士交流……

Article第13頁第13頁坦:他們能夠跟我們交流啊，也能夠與以前當(dāng)過助理人交流。他們還能夠看我寫書。我當(dāng)過25年名人助理。李:您書什么時候出版?坦:，書里講是作為名人助理職責(zé)。但是我要提醒貴刊讀者——他們或許會發(fā)覺這份工作并不像人們所想象那樣光鮮。書中記述無非是凌晨四點起床給名人病狗清理糞便，然后始終工作到第二天深夜這類瑣事。李:聽起來挺煩人……也挺累人！那您為何還干了25年呢？

Article第14頁第14頁坦:這份工作報酬豐厚，并且我還碰到了一些我崇敬好萊塢偶像，也碰到了一些值得我尊敬名人——他們都是善待別人好人。李:您認(rèn)為大多數(shù)名人都是好人嗎？坦:是。即使有些名人確實很糟糕，但有些名人沒有得到公允評價，像普通人同樣。比如，歌手湯姆·維茨就很棒。我曾經(jīng)給他寫過一封信，告訴他我是多么敬佩他那種看待歌迷、員工以及公眾方式。但我還是決定不把信寄出去——我不想讓他認(rèn)為我是在用這種方式找工作。我想我本能夠匿名寄出去——但是，我當(dāng)初沒有想到。無論如何，我還是很敬佩他。

Article第15頁第15頁李:那些糟糕名人都有誰呢?坦:我不能說出他們名字。李:為何不能?坦:那樣話就違反了第一條規(guī)則!
