Download or read book WHY I FAILED CHARM SCHOOL written by Tisha Sterling and published by Bookstand Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the words of television and movie actress Tisha Sterling, the daughter of renowned Hollywood actress Ann Sothern: "My cards were dealt generously. From my parents and the good Lord, I inherited beauty and was blessed with a sparkling future. On the surface, I had a life most people could only dream of having." However... "Every morning for four years, I had been swallowing 100 milligrams of methadone, mixed with Kool-Aid from a little white paper cup. Like clockwork, I dressed in yesterday's dirty clothes picked up from my tiny apartment I shared with my 16-year-old daughter and headed for the West Los Angeles Methadone Clinic. That morning what I felt inside: anger, fear and shame. I thought about my mother, a one-time important film actress whose career had flourished from the 1920's to the present time and stupidly compared it to my own career that was by now in the toilet, almost nonexistent. Yet I stubbornly hung on to a glimmer of hope (maybe my only salvation) that some successful auditions for me on television and film would be forthcoming and that soon I would be back to work on a Hollywood set doing what I did best acting." And thus Tisha begins her heartfelt memoir chronicling what on the surface appeared to be a dream life as Ann Sothern's daughter, but which at times was precisely the opposite. Along the way, Tisha paints an intimate portrait of Hollywood and its personalities during Hollywood's bygone Golden Age in the 1930s through the 1960s, a portrait that only one who lived and worked inside the Hollywood of that glamorous era could present.

Download or read book Reality Bites Back written by Jennifer Pozner and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every night on every major network, “unscripted” (but carefully crafted) “reality” TV shows routinely glorify retrograde stereotypes that most people would assume got left behind 35 years ago. In Reality Bites Back, media critic Jennifer L. Pozner aims a critical, analytical lens at a trend most people dismiss as harmless fluff. She deconstructs reality TV’s twisted fairytales to demonstrate that far from being simple “guilty pleasures,” these programs are actually guilty of fomenting gender-war ideology and significantly affecting the intellectual and political development of this generation’s young viewers. She lays out the cultural biases promoted by reality TV about gender, race, class, sexuality, and consumerism, and explores how those biases shape and reflect our cultural perceptions of who we are, what we’re valued for, and what we should view as “our place” in society. Smart and informative, Reality Bites Back arms readers with the tools they need to understand and challenge the stereotypes reality TV reinforces and, ultimately, to demand accountability from the corporations responsible for this contemporary cultural attack on three decades of feminist progress.

Download or read book Duty Honor and Betrayal written by Rod Moon and published by Rod Moon. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pages contain my personal recollections of the valor of men willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause of freedom. Men risking all, day after day, during their tour of duty. Men daring to fly into the jaws of destruction to save their brothers in arms. Whose accomplishments on the field of battle were belittled in the press, castigated by the "anti-war movement", and ignored by the rest of Americans. Men who endured a hostile reception in the country that sent them to war. They learned to keep silent about their service speaking quietly only to each other about it. They saw the honor given their fathers in World War II turned to scorn for their own bravery in combat.It is about those who flew with an elite unit specifically developed for this war. The First Cavalry was the first Airmobile Division capable of moving all its infantry and artillery by helicopter and supporting them by air in the field. The high level of firepower, speed and flexibility of movement was unprecedented in the history of war.The book reveals the failure of America to grasp the nature of the vicious contest between enslaving communists and the guardians of liberty. It exposes the insanity of street mobs bent on forcing an end to the Viet Nam War using the violence they claimed to deplore.It is about a national press abandoning investigation and patriotic reservation in reporting for a bold new method of using events to fashion a story to fit preconceived ideas. No military secret was safe, every horror was exposed, no condemnation of America withheld. The press quashed only criticism of the enemy and the lawless people in America's streets.In the end, dissembling traitors were hailed for their support of America's enemies and for ruthless lies about our soldiers. The government lacking the fortitude to continue its commitment to freedom left Southeast Asia to writhe in chains and slaughter brought by the communists.
