* Many people have asked why I am selling this priceless treasure. I have been helping a young man with his S.F. University studies and he has expressed the desire to pursue his Masters degree. The sell of this ring will go towards his higher education. Kareem & I will be so proud when he accomplishes his educational destiny.













This most gorgeous, original, one-of-a-kind photo of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was taken by the masterful photographer & friend, Ken Marcus. Ken made only 3 photo's -- one for himself, one for Kareem and one for me, Brenda Venus... It is the only photo that both Ken Marcus & Kareem have signed. That's what makes it even more special. It is like an exquisite sculpture of a Divine MAN! The man happens to be Kareem.

Being a ballerina since age 3, I truly admired the seemingly effortless grace & beauty with which Kareem played his game... One hot, summer day in LA day, I drove Kareem over to Ken Marcus' studio in Hollywood, and asked him to take an artistic photo w/ Kareem in a familiar basketball stance. We shot for hours, and in the end, Ken had captured the most stunningly beautiful photo of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that I have ever seen!!

The inscription reads: "BRENDA DEAREST"
BRENDA, I HOPE THIS LIVES UP TO YOUR STANDARDS. THEY, LIKE YOU, ARE THE VERY BEST! KAREEM 4/94

After the last playoff season of his career, Kareem brought me the shoes he wore in one of the playoff's. He signed them for posterity. It's very intimate to own a pair of the great man's basketball playoff shoes...!






Fun in the Sun with long-time great friend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the back of his yacht. It was a perfect day!!




Kareem & I are having dinner at Wolfgang Puck's "Spago" in Beverly Hills. It's one of our all-time favorite restaurants & Wolfgang treats us so well. We were waiting for our surprise dessert w/ great anticipation!




Kareem and I are posing for a photo shoot by famous photographer, Martin.



A brief bio of best-selling author Brenda Venus ... enjoy!

He was my first mentor.

Tom Selleck has always been a close friend. He encouraged my acting career when we were studying together in our first acting class. In this pic we were chatting about the films we’ve made that were never released. Ahh, the life of an actor!

Henry Miller, the genius & sage of our century, was my mentor & I was his muse. Henry wrote me over four-thousand letters in the span of four years. My publisher, William Morrow chose a few greats letters for the book, Dear, Dear Brenda. Later, I traveled the world w/ my three best-selling books. ( -- S.O.S. for Men & S.O.S. for Women are included.)
