Download or read book Into the Sun written by Neil Volz and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Into the Sun puts a human face on the business of American politics. It also makes you rethink what you believe about Washington. When Neil Volz moved from small-town Ohio to Capitol Hill he was a young idealistic college student. Twelve years later, he was a high-profile symbol of Washington corruption. A former lobbyist and public official, Volz paints a vivid and disturbing picture of his rise and fall. He ushers the reader in to the clandestine world of congressional deal making and special interest lobbying, all the while telling of his journey down the slippery slope of personal corruption. The book describes first-hand what it was like to be a target of a Justice Department investigation, as well as a government witness during the worst political corruption scandal since Watergate. The author outlines important life lessons he learned from the experience. And raises fundamental questions about the role of money of politics. How do people become corrupt? Is it an individual failure? Or the result of a failed political system? While Into the Sun is a personal story about hope, failure and faith, it also a larger story about how Washington works - and how it doesnt.
Download or read book Shirley Jones written by Shirley Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From golden-voiced ingénue to bus-driving mother of a pop band, Shirley Jones sets aside her wholesome, squeaky clean image in a memoir as shockingly candid, deliciously juicy, and delightfully frank as the star herself. “You are going to meet the real flesh-and-blood Shirley Jones, not just the movie star or Mrs. Partridge,” says the beloved film, television, and stage actress and singer of her long-awaited memoir, an account as shockingly direct, deliciously juicy, and delightfully frank as the performer herself. Sharing the “candid” (Los Angeles Times) and “revealing” (Associated Press) details of her life in Hollywood’s inner circle and beyond, Shirley Jones blows past the wholesome, squeaky-clean image that first brought fame, and gives us a woman who only gets hotter with time. If the story of a rebellious, gifted small-town girl being discovered by Rodgers and Hammerstein isn’t thrilling enough, go deeper behind the scenes, where Shirley Jones portrays her tumultuous marriage to Jack Cassidy, the dashing and charismatic but deeply troubled actor who unlocked her highly charged sexuality and captured her heart forever. She talks openly about their passion-fueled relationship; the infidelities, the costar crushes, and sexual experimentation. She reflects on her relationship with stepson David Cassidy; her cult status as coolest-ever TV mom Shirley Partridge; her second marriage to wacky TV comedian and producer Marty Ingels; and much more in this “saucy” (Entertainment Weekly) self-portrait.

Book Synopsis The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made by : Flora Miller Biddle
Download or read book The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made written by Flora Miller Biddle and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Crucial in understanding the evolution of the American art scene.”—Library Journal Until Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney opened her studio—which evolved into the Whitney Museum almost two decades later—on Eighth Avenue in Manhattan in 1914, there were few art museums in the United States, let alone galleries for contemporary artists to exhibit their work. When the mansions of the wealthy cried out for art, they sought it from Europe, then the art capital of the world. It was in her tiny sculptor’s studio in Greenwich Village that Whitney began holding exhibitions of contemporary American artists. This remarkable effort by a scion of America’s wealthiest family helped to change the way art was cultivated in America. The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made is a tale of high ideals, extraordinary altruism, and great dedication that stood steadfast against inflated egos, big businesses, intrigue, and greed. Flora Biddle’s sensitive and insightful memoir is a success story of three generations of forceful, indomitable women.

Book excerpt: The no-holds-barred complete story of the #1 hit '70s sitcom. Find out what really happened both behind and in front of the cameras. Come and Knock on Our Door delivers all the titillation and travails of the breakthrough coed roommate farce that launched John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, and Suzanne Somers to stardom in 1977. On-screen, the trio's dilemmas were always just zany misunderstandings riddled with pratfalls and double entendres and resolved with hugs and kisses. But behind the scenes, the real-life tensions of fame and controversy plus personal, financial, and creative conflicts threatened to end the love and laughter. With interviews from over sixty actors, producers, directors, and crew members, Chris Mann uncovers the good, the bad, and the ugly that occurred on the set-- from the fun and friendships to the feuding and falling-outs. For the first time ever, John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt break their silence about the eroding relations and bitter breakup with their onetime pal and original costar, Suzanne Somers and some of the show's top execs tell their sides of the story behind her big money demands and missed work, the public outcry, and her eventual firing. Joyce DeWitt also reveals her secret struggles with the show's producers and explains why she turned her back on Hollywood when John Ritter spun off alone in Three's a Crowd-- and what she's been doing ever since. Jenilee Harrison tells what it was like to replace Suzanne Somers during the contract dispute. Norman Fell, Don Knotts, Richard Kline, and Ann Wedgeworth disclose the ups and downs of TV's looniest landlords and tenants. And the late Audra Lindley, in her final interview, describes what she looks for in a muu-muu. So Come and Knock on Our Door, We've Been Waiting for You.
