In Memoriam Larry Lederman Earlier this year, our dear friend, Larry Lederman, passed away. He was 73. Since its humble beginning in 2005, it was Larry who sat by our side, copyediting every word of every issue of Genlux magazine, many times into the wee hours of the morning—a time-consuming task, about which, he never complained. He was always gracious, dedicated and devoted to helping to build a magazine that all of us were proud to create. Larry performed regularly at local theaters, where he loved to share Genlux with his fellow players. Larry was also a talented singer, a brilliant musician, and an avid nature lover. One of our fondest memories was spending a few days in the summer of 2015 with Larry at his favorite respite, Yosemite. Just a few years ago, Larry lost the love of his life, his partner, Terry. Now, together, they share a piece of heaven. We love you, Larry. May you rest in peace.

RÖHM SWEET RÖHM Overcoming a difficult childhood and an educational system that once pegged her as special needs, Elisabeth Röhm went on to become one of Hollywood’s busiest actresses. As our STEPHEN CHRISTOPHER finds, this Sarah Lawrence-educated beauty who recently, albeit reluctantly, gave in to the social media craze, might also be, the best friend to have when the big one hits.

“I’ll have the chopped salad and an ice tea, please,” Elisabeth Röhm orders, as she plops her Louis Vuitton tote on the seat beside her. “It’s my everyday bag. It’s big enough to hold everything. There might be yoga clothes in here one day, a snack for my daughter, underwear, who knows. By the end of the week, you never know what you’ll find.” A simple, nature-loving girl at heart, Elisabeth prefers walking or riding her bike to get around her Venice neighborhood. Today, she’s ventured out in her new electric Audi A3 Etron to our lunch interview in Beverly Hills wearing a summery Kate Spade dress paired with some classic patent-leather-tipped Chanel ballet flats and Tom Ford sunglasses. The 5-foot-10-inch blonde is best known for her role as attorney, Serena Southerlyn, on Law and Order, though, more recently she starred in two critically-acclaimed films by director David O. Russell. She played Peggy, the sister of Jennifer Lawrence’s character, in Joy; and, Dolly Polito, in American Hustle. Elisabeth speaks glowingly of Russell and his attentiveness to detail. “He’s a genius and the premiere filmmaker of our time. Jennifer Lawrence nailed it when she commented that we are the paint on his canvas—one that is dense with richness.” Now in her 40s, the Dusseldorfborn actor’s career shows no signs of braking. This year, she tacked on a dozen TV shows and movies to her lengthy resume—two decades since her small-screen debut as, Dorothy Hayes, on One Life to Live. Elisabeth giggles when sharing her first-ever acting role. “I was a dominatrix in a school play called Bondage. I was terrible! They wanted to fire me, and I was like, ‘You can’t fire me—this is a school!’ A single mom, Elisabeth has one child, Easton, 9. “We were going
to name her Grace, but when I was pregnant I had this dream,” she says. “In the dream, I’m picking her up at my best friend Tasha Smith’s house, and Tasha says she wouldn’t let me call her Grace, she wanted me to call her Easton. So I called out to her, Grace, come on, let’s go, and she ignores me. So I say it again, and she still ignores me. Finally, I said, C’mon Easton, let’s go! And she turned and came to me.” Fixed on arming Easton with the tools she needs to succeed, Elisabeth has a formula. “Children often blame their parents for what went wrong in their life,” she says. “So I’m always questioning, how can I hedge my bet with Easton? In challenging times in her life, I’d like her to know that I gave her the tenets for a strong foundation: a sense of faith, responsibility towards others, and understanding of her self-worth.” When Elisabeth was around Easton’s age, her father, who practiced international law, and mother, a writer, divorced. “I was angry and very upset, and it manifested in my schoolwork,” she recalls. “Oh, I was a real science project, and I got kicked out of Fox Lane school in New York. Nobody could figure out why I couldn’t perform, so they cast me in the category of special needs. Maybe I wasn’t throwing desks at teachers, but I was a troublemaker.” Elisabeth ended up at a boarding school in Sewanee, Tennessee. “My mother didn’t have a lot of money to send me to a good school, so it was a bad experience,” she remembers. “We couldn’t leave to go anywhere; it was like lock-down—it was very eye-opening for me.” Even more shocking, were the frank, terse words her mother delivered one day. “My mom said, ‘You need to understand that people think you’re a fuck up. So here are your choices: You can leave school, get a GED, and we can see the world together; or
you can get serious about school and make something of your life.’” Like a bucket of ice water poured on her head, she woke up and turned her grades, and life, around—eventually receiving acceptance letters from Emerson, Columbia, and the college she attended, Sarah Lawrence. One day, while away at boarding school, a fire ripped through her mother’s home, destroying the roof. With no money to replace it, the Red Cross stepped in and helped. Her mother urged Elisabeth, that if she ever became famous, to please give back to the Red Cross. And she has. For 15 years, Elisabeth has devoted her time to the charity. She trained as an emergency volunteer and traveled to support their efforts in Cambodia and Vietnam. “They’re not only the first responders, but they stay when everyone else has left. In training, I learned how to deal with people’s emotions and to give them the care they need. I also learned about disaster preparedness, like for earthquakes.” Stockpiled with food, water, duct tape, and flashlights, Elisabeth jokes with her friends about whose house they’ll all be coming to when the big one hits. Elizabeth takes out her phone and pulls up an app that keeps her up to date on current events. “It’s called The Skim. It gives you 10 minutes of reading on what happened today.” And though she’s not thrilled at how invasive these devices have become in our lives, she’s also joined the social media bandwagon. “I hate it!” she says, “It’s an addiction that feeds and fuels a short attention span. Back when we were kids, we’d have eye-to-eye conversations and contact, and we’d know how to say how’s your mom, but now there’s an avoidance of each other. My friends have millions of follower—I have, like 3. At the end of the day, I’m at a point in my life when I want long, meaningful relationships, and to work with people that I love and admire. I don’t do drama; I’m too old.” SUMMER 2017 GENLUX 47

SERIOUSLY, I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT... BY LAURA DUNN FASHION DIRECTOR
ADIDAS SUPERSTAR
The Adidas Superstar sneaker is a must for anyone wanting to stay on trend this summer. From glitterdipped toes in flannel to mint green....or even just a classic white. Pair these updated classic striped sneaks with almost anything— including a bridal gown. Get yourself a pair of the hottest sneakers out there. addidas.com
MASTER WORKS REDUX
Not long after fashion stylist Romy Devack lost her dad to cancer, she planned on getting his signature tattooed on her arm. Her mother forbade it, so instead, she designed a necklace using her dad’s signature in rose-gold with diamonds. Friends flipped over it, and Sincerely was born. I also fell for that original, gorgeous necklace! Now, all of her jewelry is designed using people’s actual signatures, which Romy then turns into one-of-a-kind 14K gold (with or without diamonds) necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. From loved ones passed....to kid’s scribbles, each piece is incredibly unique and holds special meaning for the person wearing it. Sincerely was born as a tribute to one man, and carries on as treasured light for thousands of others. sincerelyjewelry.com
Take contemporary artist Jeff Koons, five paintings by the Old Masters, and French luxury brand Louis Vuitton, blend them all on an artist’s palette, and you’ll get, quite literally, the Louis Vuitton by Jeff Koons Masters collection. I squealed with joy when seeing the Van Gogh Neverfull MM handbag and could not get my credit card down quick enough. I promise you with all my heart that a trip to the Louis Vuitton store to view, feel, and buy, one of these magnificent masters will make you feel like a master yourself! Run, don’t walk!

THE BOD
I was walking down Civic Center Drive in Beverly Hills (on a serious mission), and just happened to stumble upon The Bod. So gorgeous and so inviting is this new dance and yoga studio, I stopped mid-stride, and dashed in. Gorgeous? An understatement. Bright, sunny and simply beautiful were the words that came to mind. Aussie native and Dancing With The Stars alumni Kym Herjavec has created an amazing and fun new way to dance your way into summer shape.The Bod had just opened, and I was there witnessing one of the very first yoga classes. The yoga class was lovely...but what piqued my interest was Kym, herself, teaching one of the most exciting dance classes. Kym’s 80’s Bod, a throw back to classic workouts from legends like Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons is nonstop action to some seriously amazing music. For brides: There’s “Wedding Bod,” which is unlimited access to The Bod classes for three months, and six private lessons for you and your partner to create your perfect first dance; and one nutrition consultation and 30-day Bridal BOD prep meal plan. thebodbykym.com

Plan B? I’d like to host a show where I connect with the most dangerous people, until they break down, and I help get through to them. Three blessings? God, my son, and those I love. Best traits? Fiercely loyal, a great friend, a good eye, strong intuition, and great affection for the underdog. Job challenges? I don’t consider them challenges; rather a time to get creative. Recurring dream? That I am with my mother again. Last supper? Sushi with God and everyone I love.

Aiden Chase is on a mission. An internationally-acclaimed, third-generation healer and intuitive, who counts celebrities like Diane Lane and Sara Paulson as clients. He believes everyone can free themselves from negative energy, or negative past, and replace them with healing and love.
RVIE
Original plan? I was going to be an architect— but now I help clients with house clearings and blessings— something I call ‘Intuitive Architectural Archeology.’ I search for the hidden clues about a property’s secret history that have occurred that affect the spaces, and how it may, or may not, facilitate success.
Photo by Alan Silken
Your calling? I have always been doing this work since I was 4 when I could see, hear and feel things that other people could not. Adults would frequently turn to me for advice and answers to life’s issues. I’ve been working professionally for over a decade. I knew all along that this work was my calling. Thankfully, my mom has the same abilities and gifts, so my gifts were nurtured and considered normal.
Photograph by Jennifer Manley
Daily life? A lot of fun! I love my work, and every day is an adventure. I meditate before every appointment, which, one day could be skyping with a mega cosmetics executive in Japan, the next, a session with a new actress, to helping a Hollywood screenwriter find the real intention of his project and how it will bring him success. Every day is different!
TAKE TWO AIDEN CHASE
Chasing Energy
GENLUX
Your gift? Clairvoyance. Yes, I see the past, present, and future in my mind’s eye or that imagination screen behind our eyes— we all have it. It’s like watching a movie trailer about peoples lives. Scariest encounter? I rarely experience scary things anymore, because I firmly believe that love is a more powerful energy that solves and protects everything. In the most beautiful and nonscary way, I connect to the past with the spirits of Gene Kelley, Princess Grace of Monaco and famed Hollywood architect Paul Williams. They all help me with my work by bringing messages, instructions and guidance for my clients. Gene Kelley loves to help me with all performers. He feels that, metaphorically, we should all dance through life. Presidential pick? Yes, I predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the popular vote, but I didn’t receive any information on the electoral vote. It was very up in the air and based on the collective free will.
What’s next? I am currently writing my book. It is a glossy, energy lifestyle book. Partly about my life at my healing ranch in Santa Barbara, and partly about all my tools and techniques; from spirituality and healing to numerology, boosting your intuition, and how to clear your home. Favorite charities? I like Matt Damon’s charity, water.org

CAUDALIE Caudalie is another French skincare que j’adore. You’ll feel transported to the vineyards of Bordeaux; drunk in the beautiful aromas without a sip of vino. Vinotherapists are on site to help you get the treatment best suited to your needs. Visit during the week, as weekends tend to be busy. They also offer a variety of soothing massages.

THE SPA FOUR SEASONS BEVERLY HILLS My number one facial suggestion is a revolutionary (and I don’t use that word lightly) non-surgical facelift with Dr. Nigma Talib. I couldn’t believe how youthful my skin felt, and looked. Sienna Miller and Penelope Cruz are a few of her notable clients and staunch advocates. Granted, it’s a bit pricey but worth it. She offers a follow-up treatment plan to maximize the positive results.

THE NOW IN SILVERLAKE Like a vacation to the Mexican Riviera, the NOW spa is an oasis in the middle of the city. If you are looking to disconnect, re-energize and unwind, this is the spot. For those, like myself, trapped behind a computer for multiple hours each day, try The Stretch. The only downside to the Silverlake location is they don’t offer parking—make sure to get there early to find a meter nearby.

The Hair Experts
Here are the top LA stylists for getting your hair done...right. Tracey Cunningham
MÈCHE
Maya Michelle
Salina Alvarado
ROSSANO FERRETTI HAIRSPA
Pure Brazilian Smoothing Treatment: Maya Michelle will keep you entertained with her jokes and highly contagious laugh while applying this 90-minute treatment to smooth the cuticles—excellent for damaged, coarse or frizzy hair. This treatment adds shine and softens hair texture for up to three months. I’m personally addicted to it! Color: Colorist Salina Alvarado creates beautiful, natural, soft-looking color using the safest products, like L’Oreal Professionnel’s first ammonia-free permanent color, INOA. Cut: Spending an hour in the chair of good-natured Massimo Cossu is like meeting up with an old friend. Born and raised in Sardinia, he moved to California about five years ago after helping to open a few of Rossano Ferretti salons in Europe. Now, as the U.S. operations manager, he runs the Beverly Hills location. Rossano Ferretti Parma products (18 products, ranging $39 to $98) are free of sulfate, paraben, and formaldehyde. Rossano Ferretti Massimo Cuso Hairspa, 345 N Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, 310-598-6780, rossanoferretti.com
ROIL SALON
Cut and Color: Celebrity colorist and international salon owner Amanda George, and her husband, Emad Ghobrial, recently launched ROIL lifestyle. ROIL (a little bit royal with a touch of oil) is much more than a hair salon. Per the couple’s vision, its commitment is aligning beauty with social consciousness. A new location at One & Only Palmilla, Cabo San Lucas, opened recently, with plans to open new salons in Punta Mita and Dubai this year. Roil Salon, 9320 Civic Center Dr, Beverly Hills, 310275-2808, roillife.com
Mika Fowler
MIKA FOWLER AT KIM VŌ
Cut: One of our favorite hair stylists, Mika Fowler, is a dry-cut specialist. She developed her technique in her fashion-forward birth country of Japan, and later, at Vidal Sassoon. Celeb clients include Olivia Munn, Alison Brie, Emma Roberts, AnnaLynne McCord, Malin Akerman, Rosario Dawson, and Emanuelle Chriqui. Mika is a super-connector who loves to pair people for friendship, work or romance—and dare we say she’s good at it. Kim Vō, 225 N Canon Dr, Beverly Hills, 310-860-7854 Color: It’s about time someone thought of opening a “Color” salon in Beverly Hills. “Our ten-minute color is perfect for men and women on the go,” says owner Kim Vo. “As we like to say, ‘Vō Blow Color Go!’” Kim Vō launched Vō Blow; a concept salon focused on quick and luxurious treatments at the Beverly Hills Montage Hotel. Vō Blow, 224 N Beverly Drive, voblow.com
FOR ALL THE GENTS IN OUR LIVES, THERE’S A NEW BARBER IN TOWN.
LIKE A GENTLEMAN BARBERSHOP
Color: Color specialist Tracey Cunningham is the co-owner of Mèche. French for a highlight or a lock of hair. The name offers a nod to the history of the location, which once housed the legendary Ménage à Trois salon. Like a scene right out of Steel Magnolias, Mèche evokes a warm, fun vibe that’s filled with conversation. Mèche, 8820 Burton Way, Beverly Hills, 310-278-8930, mechesalonla.com
TRACEY CUNNINGHAM
In addition to Mèche, Tracey also recently opened her eponymous salon inside the new Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills. She’s always dreamt of owning a salon in a luxury hotel ever since watching the 1980s TV show Hotel. Congrats! Tracey Cunningham Salon, 9850 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, 310-861-1212

With little more than his pocketful of dreams, at 22, Guillermo Zapata landed in Los Angeles from Buenos Aires. He came to Hollywood to become an actor. Back home in Argentina, he’d studied at the National Conservatory of Drama Art and worked in television series and films, but the LA acting market wasn’t so easy to crack. To make ends meet, Zapata found a job washing dishes at Cynthia’s restaurant, where he quickly rose through the ranks to manager. Then, in 1998, he found a small space on the corner of Robertson and Melrose to build his own restaurant. He called it SUR, and it had only a few tables. My, how things have changed. SUR has grown to two buildings and an al fresco garden dining area and lounge, and has become one of LA’s most popular restaurants. Here, Zapata answers our Genlux Two-Word Questionnaire.
