Book excerpt: When Carole Lombard was tragically killed in a plane crash on January 16, 1942, she was 33 years old and had been a film actress for almost 20 years, yet her best work probably still lay ahead. She had reached a career high point, earning praise for her talents as a comedienne as well as a dramatic actress. As well liked as she was on screen, she was equally popular off screen, known for being witty, uninhibited and a great party-giver. Blonde and beautiful, she reigned as the queen of Hollywood when she married Clark Gable, its king. This book offers a thorough examination of her too-short life and provides information about her 78 films, including cast and credits, synopses, reviews and comments. Photographs from her life and films complete the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspector Ghote, 'one of the great creations of detective fiction' (Alexander McCall Smith), faces snakes of both the reptile and human kind when he's called in to investigate a drug smuggling case turned deadly in this classic mystery - with a brand-new introduction by bestselling author Vaseem Khan. Inspector Ganesh Ghote is taken aback when Bombay's Commissioner of Police visits him at home early one morning, with a confidential request. The commissioner's film-star friend, Asha Rani, has asked for help with an unpleasant matter at the charity she supports, the Mira Behn Institute of Medical Research. Someone is smuggling samples of an experimental medicine out of the institute, made from the venom of poisonous snakes, and the last batch nearly killed film director - and Asha's 'close friend' - Mihir Ganguly. Ghote's task, he discovers, is to find and arrest the smuggler - on some other charge. Dismayed to be asked to frame a criminal for a crime they didn't commit, Ghote nevertheless launches into the investigation with his usual thoroughness. But at the Mira Behn Institute, he comes across an unexpected - and deadly - sight: snake-handler Chandra Chagoo lying dead on the floor of the Reptile Room, a viper slithering across his back . . .
Download or read book Miss Shirley Bassey written by John L. Williams and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From "Hot from Harlem" to "Goldfinger," the story of how a two-bit jazz singer from Cardiff became an immortal icon: In 1954, Shirley Bassey was seventeen years old. She had just returned from a cheesy revue tour called "Hot from Harlem." Depressed, disillusioned and four months' pregnant, she decided that her dream of being a professional singer was over. A mere ten years later, she was one of the biggest stars in the world. She had sold more records than any other British singer of the day, and was poised to conquer America. Her latest hit, "Goldfinger," was the theme tune to the year's blockbuster film. No longer the two-bit jazz singer from Cardiff, she was by now an international sex siren, as glamorous and unreal as Bond himself. Miss Shirley Bassey explores this remarkable transformation, both of an individual and of the British society and British psyche that made it possible. From the vibrant, multicultural oasis of Tiger Bay in the Cardiff docklands through the club-lands of Soho and Las Vegas to New York's Carnegie Hall, it is a journey from mere mortal to international icon. Along the way she would encounter homosexual husbands, predatory managers, newspaper scandals, and a range of friends and acquaintances from Sammy Davis Jr. to Reggie Kray. John L. Williams draws on original research and interviews to provide a portrait of a young woman on the cusp of stardom, whose rise to fame was in many ways symbolic of a changing world. Brilliantly written non-fiction in the style of David Peace's The Damned Utd or Nick Tosches' Dino, this is the story of a woman who set out to be extraordinary and--against all the odds--succeeded.

Download or read book Out of Quisqueya written by Milliardaire Syverain M.D. and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author chronicles the dazzling and the harrowing events of his childhood charged with harrowing absurdities from the pervasive blighted poverty he endured. The near-constant run-ins with his stepmother’s mother and her abusive treatment of him and his siblings marred his experience in his home country. When he moved to Boston to live with his father and his stepmother, he experienced intense culture shock within the inescapable caste system of his adopted country. Eventually, he made his own way through a combination of so-called menial jobs, though usually a city’s or a town’s lifeblood, and schooling and a good dose of insight and optimism of the life he created for himself and his family. Out of Quisqueya is a story of grit, hope and the promise of America that immigrants cling to. It's both the author’s journey and a universal immigrant story. This memoir tells of the trials and triumphs of human resilience when dealing with a daunting existence.
