Download or read book On Sunset Boulevard written by Ed Sikov and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Sunset Boulevard, originally published in 1998, describes the life of acclaimed filmmaker Billy Wilder (1906-2002), director of such classics as Sunset Boulevard, The Lost Weekend, The Seven Year Itch, and Sabrina. This definitive biography takes the reader on a fast-paced journey from Billy Wilder's birth outside of Krakow in 1906 to Vienna, where he grew up, to Berlin, where he moved as a young man while establishing himself as a journalist and screenwriter, and triumphantly to Hollywood, where he became as successful a director as there ever was. Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot, and The Apartment"Wilder's cinematic legacy is unparalleled. Not only did he direct these classics and twenty-one other films, he co-wrote all of his own screenplays. Volatile, cynical, hilarious, and driven, Wilder arrived in Hollywood an all-but-penniless refugee who spoke no English. Ten years later he was calling his own shots, and he stayed on top of the game for the next three decades. Wilder battled with Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Bing Crosby, and Peter Sellers; kept close friendships with William Holden, Audrey Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, and Walter Matthau; amassed a personal fortune by way of blockbuster films and shrewd investments in art (including Picassos, Klees, and Mir's); and won Oscars--yet Wilder, ever conscious of his thick accent, always felt the sting of being an outsider. On Sunset Boulevard traces the course of a turbulent but fabulous life, both behind the scenes and on the scene, from Viennese cafes and Berlin dance halls in the twenties to the Hollywood soundstages of the forties and the on-location shoots of the fifties and sixties. Crammed with Wilder's own caustic wit, On Sunset Boulevard reels out the story of one of cinema's most brilliant and prolific talents.

Download or read book Mirror Opposites written by J L Daniels and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book came to me after a brief conversation I had with a lawyer friend who liked the spin I placed on a newspaper article we both had read involving a notable fugitive from justice. "You know" he said, regarding my thought, "that would make for a very interesting book! You should write it!" I had been urged to write about my life by my wife Pat and my sisters Leah and Diane who find my past vocations and life experiences fascinating. Also incorporated in their thinking was the idea that although I had a yet to be certified gift for writing I did possess a creative though possibly warped mind; a mind that might produce something that would make for interesting reading. That said, I decided to take my sisters' along with my Lawyer friend's and my wife's advice and write. About my life? About the spin I had put on the newspaper article? Well, I decided to incorporate both in a loose fictitious way. Yes, many elements of the book are real and some events and actions that happened in the book took place. But it is a seven years in the writing work of FICTION that I hope the reader will find entertaining and enjoy.

Download or read book Resilience Survival Perseverance written by Hasan A Khan and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an autobiographical description of the journey of my life as a physician, a traveler, and a family man. Through a non-linear narrative style, it charts the obstacles I encountered and overcame, the life lessons that I learned, and the material and spiritual wisdom that I collected along the way. I begin the book not with my childhood, but with my first day in medical college. This decision hints at the impetus for writing the book; I began it in 2019 when my grandson started his first day in medical college. I felt that my life had come a full circle, and began writing my memoir. The book also traverses an important event in my life, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, its aftermath and the personal trauma I faced on its account. I was forced to make a road trip from Kuwait to India only for the sake of SURVIVAL. Throughout my journey, I have lived through RESILIENCE when faced with odds. I believed in the narrative that success follows you with PERSEVERANCE. My seventy years have given me ample experience to know the difference between the beautiful and ugly, affluence and poverty, good and bad, right and wrong. In addition, this work covers my personal thoughts on “Art of living”. Our leisure trips and soothing spiritual travels are included. I have not shied away from expressing my views on my own religion of “birth” and others and I learnt to respect all religions and beliefs. I have touched on the human and economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Amazingly, how the world in a rare show of cooperation got together to develop vaccines in record time. I have throughout the pages expressed my motto: “Live and let Live”.
