Meet Annie Korzen | Actress, Humorist, Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Annie Korzen and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Annie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
When I’m stopped in the street by my TikTok fans, they tell me that they love me because I’m “authentic.” I guess that means that my always frank and always candid opinions contain wisdom and inspiration.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
At the age of 85, I have become a TikTok star with over 400,000 followers. This led to lots of press, and a book deal. THE BOOK OF ANNIE: Humor, Heart and Chutzpah from an Accidental Influencer. My path to this recognition has been a long and arduous one. I always thought I had something to say, but often felt under-employed and overlooked so this recent journey has been quite miraculous. I’ve gotten here by being myself – unapologetically – and learning from my failures.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love The Grove, The Farmers Market, the Venice Pier, Pan Pacific Park, the Getty, LACMA, my patio, my poker group, my club of neighborhood ladies,
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband, Benni, has always been there to encourage me.
