Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behavior involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The story of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms, so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArts \u0026amp; Photography\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongbooks\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eMusicals \u0026amp; Film\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Applause Theatre \u0026 Cinema Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":45261250887870,"sku":"155783248X-6","price":39.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51B61FAD2VL._SL500.jpg?v=1754077550"},{"product_id":"0306810190-burt_lancaster_an_american_life","title":"Burt Lancaster: An American Life","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efirst Time In Paperback: The Landmark Biography Of One Of Hollywood's Last Bigger-than-life Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e library Journal \u003cp\u003ebuford, A National Public Radio Commentator, Has Written The Definitive Biography Of The Enigmatic Burt Lancaster.

Say his name, and images of West Side Story , Gypsy, Anastasia, The Turning Point , and The Way We Were appear. Laurents' highly praised memoir is a dazzling portrait of his life as he recounts the great moments, the trials and the joys of his incredible career. He takes us into his world, peopled with the creative artists, directors, actors and personalities who came of age in the theatre and in Hollywood after WWII. Later, back in New York, he writes about jump-starting Barbra Streisand's career by casting her in I Can Get It for You Wholesale . He writes about the creation of Gypsy with Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim. And he writes about coming together in a complex, fraught collaboration with his three old pals, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein and Sondheim for West Side Story .

Griffith released \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of a Nation\u003c\/i\u003e; not quite a decade and a half later they were shoved into an early grave by the invention of talkies. Watching them now, you enter a coded, embroidered world that feels as remote as the Middle Ages. It's easy for a novice to get discombobulated -- as a college freshman, I wandered into a screening of Griffith's great \u003ci\u003eIntolerance\u003c\/i\u003e and was so thrown by the rhythms that I fled, dazed, at intermission. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the outset of her nearly 500-page volume, \u003ci\u003eSilent Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeanine Basinger, a much-published scholar who teaches film at Wesleyan University, attempts to define the world of the silent screen, where \u003c\/p\u003e\n stars look rounder. Their faces aren't shadowed or hawkish, with razor-sharp cheekbones, but romantic and soft, with apparently no bones at all The women are often barely five feet tall, and the men are short, compact, and well proportioned It's an Ur-world, full of strong emotion, and you seem to be constantly sharing lives in secret ways, looking on at secret moments, watching scenes of deeply felt and hyper-expressive revelation.  \u003cp\u003eThis is a promising beginning, but the book -- a selective yet varied series of portraits of the silent-movie personalities Basinger believes have been either forgotten or misunderstood -- is a major disappointment. Basinger isn't gifted at describing what actors do: She includes an array of details about performance after performance, but there's no lyricism to float these details into evocation, and there are surprisingly few ideas to ground what start to feel like interminable summaries. After 20 pages on Gloria Swanson, for example, all you've gleaned is that most of her movies were built around her costumes, yet somehow she was more than just a clotheshorse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA study of the horror-movie chameleon Lon Chaney culminates in these unhelpful sentences: \"What, after all, was Chaney's appeal? The answer is simple: he was unique.\" A chapter on Rudolph Valentino, the most parodied (and, to Basinger's mind, the most underrated) of the era's male romantic stars, includes this distillation of the 1921 film that made him a star: \"So what was it about Valentino in 'Four Horsemen [of the Apocalypse]'? The answer is simple: as Julio, he has star power, though not much else.\" In a dual examination of the careers of the flapper heroines Colleen Moore and Clara Bow, we're met with the startling revelation that actors aren't always the characters they portray on the screen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasinger is such a ham-handed writer that somewhere in the middle of the book I began to suspect she might have something valuable to express about these performers but just couldn't get it out. I kept stumbling over bizarre sentences (\"Norma Talmadge is the proof of the basic fact about stardom: clearly in her case, you had to be there\"; \"[Pola Negri's \u003ci\u003ePassion\u003c\/i\u003e] combines historical sweep with intimate portraiture, and there is no overestimating what having a good director can do for the historical reevaluation of an actress's career\") and wondering what she might have been trying to say. Sometimes she contradicts herself -- she lists all the customary reasons for the disintegration of John Gilbert's career as Hollywood's great lover, refutes each one, then claims the real cause was a combination of them all. At other times she makes comments that are so far off track you can't believe she meant them -- e.g., that Lillian Gish is \"somewhat sexless\" (has she seen \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e?), that John Barrymore was a proto-Method actor (the style of matinee idols like Barrymore was precisely what Method actors were breaking away from). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the anecdotes she tosses into her discussions of the stars are fun. I enjoyed learning that Colleen Moore and not Louise Brooks pioneered the Dutch Boy bob, and that the plot of Warren Beatty's \u003ci\u003eBulworth\u003c\/i\u003e has its origins in a 1916 Douglas Fairbanks comedy called \u003ci\u003eFlirting with Fate\u003c\/i\u003e. But only a single chapter in \u003ci\u003eSilent Stars\u003c\/i\u003e is the lark the whole book should have been: the one on the canine star Rin-Tin-Tin and his rivals. Here Basinger locates exactly the right tone, a mix of admiration and humor, and her descriptions of the movies illustrate clearly delineated points. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is truly original research: No one has written seriously about animal performers, and though Basinger 's project throughout is to resurrect the shoddily reported careers of her other subjects, the fact is that other scholars before her have praised Mabel Normand (perhaps more than she deserves), Chaney, Fairbanks, Valentino. It's been nearly three decades since Pauline Kael, in \u003ci\u003eThe Citizen Kane Book\u003c\/i\u003e, set the record straight on the distinction between the talented comedian Marion Davies and the fictional character Orson Welles and Herman Mankiewicz cruelly modeled on her; and there's nothing in Basinger's chapter on Mary Pickford that Eileen Whitfield didn't cover in far greater depth in her brilliant biography, \u003ci\u003ePickford: The Woman Who Made Hollywood\u003c\/i\u003e. But, silent-movie lover though I am, I didn't know a damn thing about Rin-Tin-Tin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReference\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45261807452350,"sku":"0819564516-3","price":15.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41KCZ88TH6L._SL500.jpg?v=1754082633"},{"product_id":"1496807987-sitting_pretty_the_life_and_times_of_clifton_webb_hollywood_legends_series","title":"Sitting Pretty: The Life and Times of Clifton Webb (Hollywood Legends Series)","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore than any other male movie star, the refined Clifton Webb (1889-1966) caused the movie-going public to change its image of a leading man.

The book is divided into four interrelated parts: Part I introduces the study of communication and culture; Part II focuses on the ability of culture to shape and modify our view of reality; Part III puts the theory of intercultural communication into practice; and Part IV converts knowledge into action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords, Language \u0026amp; Grammar\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSpeech\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Wadsworth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45262424441022,"sku":"111134910X-4","price":14.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81BJN6QGqZL.jpg?v=1754094010"},{"product_id":"0486242587-modern_coin_magic","title":"Modern Coin Magic: 116 Coin Sleights and 236 Coin Tricks","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe Most Complete Treatise On Sleight-of-hand Coin Conjuring, Including Best Traditional Methods And Modern Innovations.

Excerpted as a cover story in the February issue of \u003ci\u003eWired\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. Photos throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003eIn the wake of James Cameron's Titanic (14 Academy nominations, 11 Oscars, a billion-dollar worldwide box office), Parisi traces the development of project \"Big Boat\" from inception to conclusion in a tribute to \"the man who did more than any other to revolutionize the look of film as we enter the new millennium.\" Written in a breezy, reportorial style, the book details the execution of Cameron's vision of Titanic \"as a kind of living history.\" Cameron's notorious perfectionism prompted the building of a 750-foot replica of the Titanic and the building of Cameron's own film studio in Mexico. Called the 100 Day Studio, it was the first built by one of the Hollywood majors since the 1930s. Taking responsibility for his excesses, Cameron (in an unprecedented move) reassigned his profit-sharing back to Twentieth Century-Fox. Surpassing Waterworld's gigantic budget, Titanic became the most expensive movie ever made. Staffers wore T-shirts proclaiming: \"You Can't Scare Me I Work for James Cameron.\" But Mr. Action King pulled it off. At the cost of $1 million per minute, Titanic became the highest-grossing film ever in the U.S., exceeding Star Wars. There is an old-fashioned feel to the story of the making of Titanic, and Parisi's lively portrayal recalls the egomaniacal geniuses of yore, particularly D.W. Griffith, whose daring innovations founded the movies as an art form by 1912. Is Cameron the D.W. Griffith of the 21st century? Time, the greatest Titan of all, will tell. 16-page color photo insert not seen by PW.

Beautifully written and unexpectedly moving . . . .

Outside the Russian-speaking community, he is undoubtedly the most widely translated, studied and performed of all Russian writers. His plays are characterised by their evasiveness: tragedy and comedy, realism and naturalism, symbolism and impressionism, as well as other labels of school and genre - all fail to account for the uniqueness of 'Chekhovism' (ie: the essence of his artistic system and world view). Presence through Absence is a bold attempt to map the unique structure and meaning that comprise Chekhov's immensely rich artistic universe. Golomb's text is an incursion into Chekhov's vision of unrealised potentials and present absences. His timeless works are shown with rare insight and clarity to have artistic principles and coherence above and beyond the scope of the individual play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumor \u0026amp; Entertainment\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforming Arts\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheater\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Sussex Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":46670063239358,"sku":"1845196244-3","price":54.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61Wy_R7OjBL.jpg?v=1776878417"},{"product_id":"0062440527-seduction_sex-_lies-_and_stardom_in_howard_hughess_hollywood-_a_golden_age_history_of_male_power_and_sexual_misconduct","title":"Seduction: Sex, Lies, and Stardom in Howard Hughes's Hollywood – A Golden Age History of Male Power and Sexual Misconduct","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eIn This Riveting Popular History, The Creator Of You Must Remember This Probes The Inner Workings Of Hollywood’s Glamorous Golden Age Through The Stories Of Some Of The Dozens Of Actresses Pursued By Howard Hughes, To Reveal How The Millionaire Mogul’s Obsessions With Sex, Power And Publicity Trapped, Abused, Or Benefitted Women Who Dreamt Of Screen Stardom. In Recent Months, The Media Has Reported On Scores Of Entertainment Figures Who Used Their Power And Money In Hollywood To Sexually Harass And Coerce Some Of The Most Talented Women In Cinema And Television. But As Karina Longworth Reminds Us, Long Before The Harvey Weinsteins There Was Howard Hughes—the Texas Millionaire, Pilot, And Filmmaker Whose Reputation As A Cinematic Provocateur Was Matched Only By That As A Prolific Womanizer. His Supposed Conquests Between His First Divorce In The Late 1920s And His Marriage To Actress Jean Peters In 1957 Included Many Of Hollywood’s Most Famous Actresses, Among Them Billie Dove, Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, And Lana Turner. From Promoting Bombshells Like Jean Harlow And Jane Russell To His Contentious Battles With The Censors, Hughes—perhaps More Than Any Other Filmmaker Of His Era—commoditized Male Desire As He Objectified And Sexualized Women. Yet There Were Also Numerous Women Pulled Into Hughes’s Grasp Who Never Made It To The Screen, Sometimes Virtually Imprisoned By An Increasingly Paranoid And Disturbed Hughes, Who Retained Multitudes Of Private Investigators, Security Personnel, And Informers To Make Certain These Actresses Would Not Escape His Clutches.
