When asked which famous series she would like to see in her life, the 62-year-old lawyer bluntly stated, "In my opinion, I couldn't be a 'Real Housewife.'" Instead, the book's author «Becoming» revealed that she has a much more sophisticated competitor: the popular detective series Peacock.« Traitors »"I'd love to be in 'Traitors,' and I'd love to be loyal.

"If I'm there, it'll only be for the post-season meetings," she joked, explaining that she had too many burning questions for the contestants.
