The true-to-life account of a female chauffeur hired to drive the Saudi royal family in Los Angeles
After more than a decade of working in Hollywood, actress Jayne Amelia Larson found herself out of luck, out of work, and out of prospects.
When she got hired to drive for the Saudi royal family vaca-tioning in Beverly Hills, Larson thought she'd been handed the golden ticket. She'd heard stories of the Saudis bestowing $20,000 tips and Rolex watches on their drivers, but when the family arrived at LAX with twenty "million" dollars in cash, Larson realized that she might be in for the ride of her life.
With awestruck humor and deep compassion, Larson shares the incredible insights she gained as the lone female in a detail of more than forty chauffeurs assigned to drive a beautiful Saudi princess, her family, and their extensive entourage.
At its heart, this is an upstairs-downstairs, true-to-life fable for our global times; a story about the corruption that nearly infinite wealth causes, and "about what we all do for money." Equal parts funny, surprising, and insightful, "Driving the Saudis" provides both entertainment and sharp social commentary on one of the world's most secretive families.
