Born and raised in the remarkably Jewy town of Livingston, New Jersey, Bess Levin is best known for starring in her 1997 Bat Mitzvah. Apparently, she attended Amherst College, where she received a first-hand account of the species known as the WASP and its manifold mating practices, ceremonies and rituals. Levin graduated from Amherst in May, and there are two conflicting stories as to how she landed at DealBreaker shortly thereafter. One version has her stalking Elizabeth Spiers for a rather lengthy period of time, during which Levin extolled her coffee-getting/making and photocopying skills to Spiers's great impress. The other is that she was found on the doorstep in a basket with a note pinned to her forehead; each may or may not be wholly untrue, except for the part about how good she is with coffee and photocopying. (She excels at both.)
