Thanks to the never-ending stream of slop we are all fed on our digital devices, I recently came across a video of Elena Cardone, who, along with her husband Grant Cardone, are major Scientology donors and seem to be David Miscavige favorites. The interviewer asked Elena how she and Grant first met. Her answer suggested she had some kind of acting career at the time.
More importantly, her answer failed to mention that they actually met when they were both cast in a Dianetics marketing video.
According to Elena’s version, she was filming a TV spot in downtown Los Angeles when Grant, who was a friend of the director, stopped by to say hello.
They did in fact meet on a shoot in downtown Los Angeles, but that’s where the truth ends.
I don’t really care how Elena tells her life story, but because she and Grant met as a result of my casting them both in the same video, I get to correct the record. (After viewing that Internet video, I did a quick search and discovered that Elena repeats the same fictitious account whenever asked how she and Grant met.)
The video brought back a few memories regarding the years I spent creating TV ads and so forth for Scientology’s bible, Dianetics.
By the 1990s, the classic television “infomercial” had matured into a golden era. The formula was easily repeatable and highly profitable, relying on dramatic demonstrations, enthusiastic pitchmen, customer testimonials, and urgent calls to action: “But wait, there’s more!”
