Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Hollywood - Michael B Druxman - Bog

"While working as Roger Corman's story editor at Concorde-New Horizons
Pictures, I discovered that Michael Druxman knows how to spin a good yarn.
Reading his Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Hollywood has taught me how
thoroughly Michael knows his way around Movieland. It's all here:
his years as a publicist, a screenwriter, a playwright, and a hawker of
memorabilia at autograph shows. The book's most revealing moments involve
his brief encounters with a wide array of stars. He's worked with
celebrities who are wonderful, and with others who are rude, forgetful,
cheap, backstabbing, drunk-or too honest for their own good."
- Beverly Gray, biographer, Roger Corman: Blood-Sucking Vampires,
Flesh-Eating Cockroaches, and Driller Killers
"Druxman's style flows so beautifully, that you don't realize that what you
are, indeed, reading is a contribution to film history! His interactions
with so many of the Hollywood elite (and not so elite) really do contribute
to a fuller and deeper understanding of them. Some of the stories are
predictably humorous. Some are jaw-droppers. Some were sad. ALL-and I mean
all-were well framed, beautifully developed, and word-to-word dynamite. I
did NOT want this book to end."
- Annette Lloyd, film historian
