Hidden from the main roads in Bokeelia is a worldwide company — and a local one. The woman behind the two enterprises is Claudia Butz. Her SilverGoose company ships custom needlework tools and miniature accessories around the world.
She often appears on multiplex screens au naturel ( Permanent Midnight , The Cooler , A History of Violence ) and talks frankly about sexuality whenever asked (check out her defense of, er, private body hair in this year's movie-ratings documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated ).
