There's the What Else connection! And since they didn't say what she does now, she very well may be the publicist who turned up in a Google search for her name.

She was a called-at-the-last-minute-er and such a pleasure of a woman to spend a morning with. A shame she couldn't walk away with more.

It's even easier to go the other way.

You know that whatever day of the week is the 1st, the 8th and 15th will be the same day. Friday the 13th + 2 = the 15th = Sunday.
