Writer Natasha Vargas-Cooper has accomplished more in 30 years than some do in a lifetime.

Her book, Mad Men Unbuttoned, was praised as "a well-versed primer" by The New Yorker and "likely to become a trivia-lover's bible" by The New York Times. Oh and in her spare time, she created the popular LA storytelling show Public School.
