Pearl Jr
Pearl Jr is a graduate of the highly acclaim California State University, Northridge Radio/TV/Film class of 1989 to which she completed two years of college in one year.

Elbow Grease Productions became a licensed media company in 2004. The owners, Pearl Jr and Cecil Holmes' first venture was a daily 30-minute leased access TV show called "Trutalk: Straight Outta LA" that was available to over a million people in the Greatest Los Angeles area, whereas Pearl Jr was the producer and host. Due to this TV program, Elbow Grease Productions was credentialed media at Michael Jackson's 2005 trial. Out of that coverage, the documentary "Michael Jackson The Trial and Triumph of the King of Pop" was produced and later distributed by Warner Bros and was available in over 50 million homes throughout the USA, plus was distributed worldwide, including passing China's rigorous censorship board.

Elbow Grease Productions also produced the historic documentary, which was the first of it's kind that was based on Barack Obama being the first African American President called "Barack Obama, The Power of Change".

Pearl Jr has appeared on Aphrodite Jones' "True Crime" TV show and has been on TV News several times, plus was a regular commentator on KABC talk radio, as well as dozens of other radio programs.

Elbow Grease Productions continued to cover Michael Jackson related events and was also credentialed to cover Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial and Katherine Jackson vs. AEGLive trial. As the death of Michael Jackson shocked the world, it was Michael Jackson's vast and active worldwide fan base that contacted Elbow Grease Productions to further research his "death" due to all the coincidences, inaccuracies, fallacies, sloppy documentation, inconsistencies, smoke and mirror trickery, and suspicious activities that surrounded the "death" of the King of Pop.

Russian TV (ren.tv) and Brazilian TV (rede.tv) have also interviewed and featured Pearl Jr as the authority of the Michael Jackson Death Hoax. Pearl Jr's research has also been featured in the National Enquirer in the USA and UK as well as a few other media outlets.

Pearl Jr is also featured in a Simon & Schuster book, "Playing Dead" in which a full chapter is dedicated to her and the Michael Jackson Death Hoax. Pearl Jr is also the author of 3 books.

Many people don't realize that faking one's death is not against the law; therefore Michael Jackson used many legal loophole and reasonable claims to his advantage; after all, there's proof he started laying the groundwork to this death hoax back in the 1980's that features Michael Jackson's interest in the living dead as in his #1 best selling album "Thriller" that focused on zombies and werewolves. Michael then continued this theme in his artistry in his short film "Ghost" and "Moonwalker" in which he is thought to be dead but is still alive, plus several songs, albums that points to the Living Dead.

Pearl Jr, as an independent investigative journalist has concluded and proven that the death of the world's most popular superstar is indeed the greatest hoax in world history. With about 5.3 million views on www.youtube.com/user/PearlJr channel, she has become the face of the Michael Jackson death hoax.

In May 2010, Pearl Jr also released the 115000 word, "Pseudocide Did Michael Jackson Fake His Death To Save His Life?" that was the first book of its kind called an EmovieBook, which is an electronic book filled with click-able links to verify the most compelling information.

"Alive Trilogy of Michael Jackson Documentaries" which is a 3 disc boxset is currently (11-17-18) 5 star rated on amazon. The first "Alive Is Michael Jackson Really Dead?" documentary aired on Netflix for 2 years (2011-2013) garnering over 86,000 ratings and since the clues have never ceased, Elbow Grease Productions has produced 2 more documentaries called "Alive 2 Michael Jackson The Great Xscape" and "Alive III Michael Jackson The Living Dead" that features over 150 death hoax facts, proof, clues and evidence that support the theory that Michael Jackson is still alive and on the internet using many different aliases and personas; he even sings, dances, walks and talks online after June 25, 2009, which was when his brother, Jermaine announced his death while wearing a shirt that read "LIVING AS KING".

There's also a full-length screenplay available called. "The Price of Fame" that is written using facts that drive the story about Michael Jackson faking his death that is written by Pearl Jr.

Pearl Jr also created, wrote and executive produced the 19 minute dramatic short film, renamed "Prisoner of Fame" that deals with how Michael Jackson used a cryonic body double to XSCAPE to his freedom from the pressures of super stardom. Every media company needs a niche; therefore Elbow Grease Productions focuses on telling the other side of the story and due to today's social media, most people are searching everywhere for the truth!

Pearl Jr documentaries have traveled the world being seen by fans in 40 different countries.
