They say Hollywood loves a good detective story, but very few people have actually lived one. Becky—known in the industry as “Hollywood P.I. Becky”—is the real deal. As the CEO of Ariel Investigations, Inc., she has spent thirty years navigating the thin line between Hollywood glamour and the gritty reality of the streets.

​

She’s the investigator who cracked open the secrets of the MPAA for the documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated. She’s the bodyguard who protected Queen Latifah, Molly Ringwald, and the Osbournes. But she’s also the detective who stood in the dark corners of society, tracking down missing children, confronting corporate fraud, facing off against retaliatory gang members, and handing over a terrorist cell to the FBI.

​

Her life is a study in brilliant contrasts. She is a lesbian, a grandmother, a rape survivor, and a woman of deep faith. She can blend into a crowd wearing Disney clothes to make a target feel safe enough to confess, and hours later, hold the line against high-profile threats. Her career has taken her from the red carpets of the Academy Awards to the heart-wrenching realities of pro bono abuse cases.

​

After serving as a technical consultant on the series Stumptown, Becky saw firsthand how Hollywood often trades real substance for manufactured drama. But the real stories—like exposing a fake paraplegic, dodging mobsters, or finding peace watching wildlife during a grueling 14-hour stakeout—are far more compelling than anything a writers' room could invent. Supported by her partner, Cheryl, Becky’s life is built on raw, unvarnished truth. It’s a story about fighting for the powerless, holding the dishonest accountable, and proving that real authenticity can't be faked.
