SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

A former schoolteacher, including a stint in a gifted

children’s program in South Pasadena, Rosemary

is now schooling other realtors. She is consistently

among the top five deal-makers in the rarified

territories of Los Feliz, Silver Lake and the

Hollywood Hills, and among the reasons

for that are her knowledge of the

architecture and history of her areas.

What impresses you?

A person who reads a lot and offers much to the conversation; someone who is full of enthusiasm and knowledge.

Who do you admire the most?

Sonia Sotomayor. She is a Supreme Court justice, a female attorney and judge who worked her way up from humble beginnings to hold a seat on the highest court in the land -- and she’s a minority! A truly great accomplishment.

What would you like to best be remembered for?

Having raised responsible, honest and successful children and grandchildren.

Who would play you in a film about yourself?

Probably Li Gong.

What would your super hero power be?

To make sick people well.

Greatest regret?

That I didn’t take the train up to the Andes Mountains.
