It was the American Dream that turned into a nightmare. Cheryl Shuman grew up as a child of poverty in Appalachia. Her first job at age six was selling vegetables at a roadside stand, working in the tobacco fields, crocheting ponchos and tutoring classmates. At the age of 18, she was discovered by the Bob Braun show where overnight she became known as America’s Coupon Queen. She then went on to become a nationally respected television reporter for “PM Magazine.” After a near fatal car accident, she lost everything. With only $17 in her pocket, Cheryl arrived in southern California and slept in her car. Three weeks later, a chance meeting with superstar Michael Jackson, inspired her to start her own business. Word of mouth referrals led to Cheryl being known as the “Optician to the Stars” and had her working on nearly every film and television production. This business, Starry Eyes, catapulted Shuman back into the jet-set life of the rich and famous, and into a disastrous liason with a well-known film star Steven Seagal, Marty Singer, Anthony Pellicano and their thugs, where she once again lost it all in one of Hollywood's biggest scandals.
