Throw a rock in LA and you’ll have a good chance of hitting someone who knew someone else when that someone else had been a “nobody”: A co-worker at my previous employment had Paula as a tenant, she rooming with the co-worker’s daughter (who is a Foley artist). He described Paula as being “an absolute angel”.
