from HarperSanFrancisco
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I very much enjoyed this book. This book focuses on his life, and his decision-making, and what he has learned through the journey. It is a good way to get some biographical information about him, and to see him as a real person - a normal person, not an actor. If you are looking for a lot of... more info

...Not meant to be. But it is an honest diary like look into the mind of a parent with a troubled son during a troubled time in said parent's career.

from Da Capo Press
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
This compilation of essays on film and art, written from the 1950s through the '70s, still stands out as amazingly sharp, combative, and original. Take Farber's legendary "White Elephant Art vs. Termite Art" (1962); replace the notion of "great painting" with "relational... more info

Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
When writing about Jack Lemmon's failed aspirations on the celebrity golf classic Chris Lemmon declared that he could clearly imagine his "Pop" winning with his traditional hearty "Isn't that a bit of terrific!" Every time I read that I could hear Jack Lemmon's voice in my head. That's the juice of... more info

6.Hollywood Babylon: The Legendary Underground Classic of Hollywood s Darkest and Best Kept SecretsHollywood Babylon: The Legendary Underground Classic of Hollywood's Darkest and Best Kept Secrets
from Dell
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
Anger dishes out some absurdly titillating gossip on Hollywood celebs from the 1920s-1950s. While not all of it is terribly credible, Anger delivers his tidbits with the nasty exhilaration of a tabloid queen which makes for a fun read. But if you aren't interested in early American cinema, then... more info

from Adams Media
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
I own several screenwriting books and consider this one to be in the top 3 (McKee and Vogler being the other 2). The reason is because this is one of the few screenwriting books with information coming straight from successful screenwriters. This is key, because through their insights you can better... more info

from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:
Mr. Goldman has written a classic. A great panacea for anyone that gets too starry-eyed over celebrities and aspires to "make it big" in show business. I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Goldman's no-holds-barred approach to explaining just how Hollywood works. His book is instructive and... more info

from Anchor
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Gabler is a uniquely erudite cultural critic. This is the third book I have read by him and I am deeply impressed with the unusual breadth of his coverage. In this case, he writes about the founding fathers of Hollywood, the dictatorial dreamers and shapers of its golden age (to the late 1940s}. In... more info
