He proved so good that the Los Angeles Times stole him away this year and let him loose on the notoriously corrupt southeastern cities of Los Angeles County including Maywood, Commerce, Industry and the like.

BEST PR AGENCY LEE HEALY MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Every new, buzzworthy restaurant in Orange County knows that the PR person that’ll get in all the reporters and Instagrammers who matter is Lee Healy. She’s as comfortable around Snapchatting millennials as she is with the Balboa Bay Club set, as perfectly at ease at a hole-in-the-wall as at the Ritz-Carlton. Her clients over the years have included everyone from South Coast Plaza’s restaurants to the TAPS/The Catch guys to bistros, pubs and beyond.

BEST PERSON WHO FLED OC MARC CHERRY
Toluca Lake resident Marc Hallon Cherry was born 54 years ago in Long Beach; his family later relocated briefly in Oklahoma, but a job transfer for his accountant father, Truman Cherry, had the brood settling in Orange County. Marc, who graduated from Troy High School in Fullerton, later wrote alongside Mitch Hurwitz on NBC’s The Golden Girls. Years after creating ABC’s longrunning Desperate Housewives, Cherry appeared as himself—and the target of a
