Luckily, most of her projects have been successes. Since she founded Tri-Coast Internationa Inc. in 1985, the Alabama-based video distribution company has grown to a multi-million dollar, 30-employee operation.

One of her videos was named "The People vs. Zsa Zsa Gabor," which, although made of real footage from Zsa Zsa's cop-slapping trial, Malugen finds somewhat comical.

What stands out in her mind was the borrowing of $40,000 to open her distribution company. She repaid her investors in two weeks, during which time she sold movies to one of her brother's video stores.
