      I am a columnist who writes a monthly A-1 series, “For Real With Amy Kaufman.” The column examines the lives of icons, underdogs and rising stars to find out who the people are shaping our culture — for real. I also work on investigations that often shine a light on the darker side of the entertainment business.
