Download or read book Star written by Peter Biskind and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compulsively readable and constantly surprising book, Peter Biskind, the author of the film classics Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and Down and Dirty Pictures, writes the most intimate, revealing, and balanced biography ever of Hollywood legend Warren Beatty. Famously a playboy, Beatty has also been one of the most ambitious and successful stars in Hollywood. Several Beatty films have passed the test of time, from Bonnie and Clyde (which confirmed for him the importance of controlling the projects he was involved in) to Shampoo, Heaven Can Wait, Reds (for which he won the best director Oscar), Bugsy, and Bulworth. Few filmgoers realize that along with Orson Welles, Beatty is the only person ever nominated for four Academy Awards for a single film -- and unlike Welles, Beatty did it twice, with Heaven Can Wait and Reds. Biskind shows how Beatty used star power, commercial success, savvy, and charm to bend Hollywood moguls to his will, establishing an unprecedented level of independence while still working within the studio system. Beatty's private life has been the subject of gossip for decades, and Star confirms his status as Hollywood's leading man in the bedroom, describing his affairs with Joan Collins, Natalie Wood, Leslie Caron, Julie Christie, Michelle Phillips, Diane Keaton, and Madonna, among many others. Throughout his career, Beatty has demonstrated a fascination for politics. He was influential in the 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns of Gary Hart. It was said of Hart and Beatty that each wanted to be the other, and Biskind shows that there was considerable truth in that wry observation. As recently as a few years ago, Beatty was speaking out about California politics and contemplating a run for governor. Biskind explains how Beatty exercised unique control, often hiring screenwriters out of his own pocket (and frequently collaborating with them), producing, directing, and acting in his own films, becoming an auteur before anyone in Hollywood knew what the word meant. He was arguably one of the most successful and creative figures in Hollywood during the second half of the twentieth century, and in this fascinating biography, Warren Beatty comes to life -- complete with excesses and achievements -- as never before.

Book Synopsis Into the Blizzard by : Michael Winter
Download or read book Into the Blizzard written by Michael Winter and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In June a few years ago I set out to visit some of the World War One battlefields of Europe – the slope and valley and river and plain that the Newfoundland Regiment trained on, and fought over and through and under.” So begins Michael Winter’s extraordinary narrative that follows two parallel journeys, one laid on top of the other like a sketch on opaque paper over the lines of an old map. The first journey is that of the young men who came from Newfoundland’s outports, fields, villages and narrow city streets to join the storied regiment that led many of them to their deaths at Beaumont-Hamel during the Battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916. The second journey is the author’s, taken a century later as he walks in the footsteps of the dead men to discover what remains of their passage across land and through memory. Part unconventional history, part memoir-travelogue, part philosophical inquiry, Michael Winter uniquely captures the extraordinary lives and landscapes, both in Europe and at home, scarred by a war that is just now disappearing from living memory. In subtle and surprising ways, he also tells the hidden story of the very act of remembering – of how the past bleeds into the present and the present corrals and shapes the past. As he wanders from battlefield to barracks to hospital to hotel, and finally to a bereft stretch of land battered by a blizzard back home, Winter gently but persistently unsettles us – startling us with the unexpected encounters and juxtapositions that arise from his physical act of walking through the places where the soldiers once marched, this time armed with artifacts and knowledge those earlier souls could not have, yet undone by the reality of their bodily presence beneath the earth. In this unusual, poignant and beautiful book, Michael Winter gives us a new way of looking at a powerful piece of history that, he reminds us, continues to haunt our own lives.
Book Synopsis Nichols and May by : Robert E. Kapsis
Download or read book Nichols and May written by Robert E. Kapsis and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1950s, Mike Nichols (1931–2014) and Elaine May (b. 1932) soared to superstar status as a sketch comedy duo in live shows and television. After their 1962 breakup, both went on to long and distinguished careers in other areas of show business—mostly separately, but sporadically together again. In Nichols and May: Interviews, twenty-seven interviews and profiles ranging over more than five decades tell their stories in their own words. Nichols quickly became an A-list stage and film director, while May, like many women in her field, often found herself thwarted in her attempts to make her distinctive voice heard in projects she could control herself. Yet, in recent years, Nichols’s work as a filmmaker has been perhaps unfairly devalued, while May’s accomplishments, particularly as a screenwriter and director, have become more appreciated, leading to her present widespread acceptance as a groundbreaking female artist and a creative genius of and for our time. Nichols gave numerous interviews during his career, and editor Robert E. Kapsis culled hundreds of potential selections to include in this volume the most revealing and those that focus on his filmmaking career. May, however, was a reluctant interview subject at best. She often subverted the whole interview process, producing instead a hilarious parody or even a comedy sketch—with or without the cooperation of the sometimes-oblivious interviewer. With its contrasting selection of interviews conventional and oddball, this volume is an important contribution to the study of the careers of Nichols and May.
Download or read book Buffalo Unbound written by Laura Pedersen and published by Fulcrum Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about the economic collapse and social unrest of her 1970s childhood in Buffalo, New York, Laura Pedersen was struck by how things were finally improving in her beloved hometown. As 2008 began, Buffalo was poised to become the thriving metropolis it had been a hundred years earlier—only instead of grain and steel, the booming industries now included healthcare and banking, education and technology. Folks who'd moved away due to lack of opportunity in the 1980s talked excitedly about returning home. They mised the small-town friendliness and it wasn't nostalgia for a past that no longer existed—Buffalo has long held the well-deserved nickname the City of Good Neighbors. The diaspora has ended. Preservationists are winning out over demolition crews. The lights are back on in a city that's usually associated with blizzards and blight rather than its treasure trove of art, architecture, and culture.
Book Synopsis Operational Blizzard by : W Lloyd N Fernando
Download or read book Operational Blizzard written by W Lloyd N Fernando and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to bring the attention of the reader to the facts and information surrounding the complaint, obviously fraudulent, which was made in 1996 to the Police (Perth, W.A), against me, who is the author of this book, by a woman. This court matter was severely in breach of justice, and the corruption involved in the matter is, undoubtedly, of first degree. The complaints against relevant Police officers, elements in the Prosecution, the judges, and other relevant people in the judicial system are extremely severe. My fight for justice should not be considered as anti-Police or as anti-judicial. I love genuine Police and judicial services that fight against crime. Crime has never been a part of my life and it would never be. I detest lawlessness. I am a person who goes along with the system to maintain law and order, which brings peace and stability in the society. Therefore, the experience I had in jail by living with people who were lawless and violent was not pleasant at all. I am a person who loves justice, and serve the genuine interest of the public. In my life I had zero tolerance for people who lived by violence and lawlessness. Therefore, it is fair for me to say that I could be one of the best crime resistances any system could think of. It is very ugly to see lawlessness and unjust behaviour among people, especially, who are supposed to serve honesty and justice. I was put in jail by criminal elements, who were working for a system that was supposed to serve honesty and justice. Inferences made on the available evidence suggest that entire judicial process got corrupted as a result of the influences from these elements. Undoubtedly, the process was corrupted to serve their self interests, which were evil. The person who made the sexual allegations against me had indirect and or direct influences in the Western Australian Police Service. The complainant called the Police against me three days after she met me. She did so through a friend who was a very good friend of at least one of the W.A Police officers. It was this (or these) Police officer(s) who initiated the process. This was completely evident at the Preliminary hearing, which took place on 05/05/1997 at the Court of Petty Sessions at Perth Central Law Court. The judges, the Prosecution, the defense Lawyers, the Police, and other allies of them, in relation to this court matter, have taken a suicidal path to get a falls set of convictions against me, and, therefore, I strongly believe beyond any reasonable doubts that the influence of the complainant had on the Police Service, and the influences that resulted from that influence had to be so corrupt and wide spread.
