Download or read book Stuntwomen written by Mollie Gregory and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They've traded punches in knockdown brawls, crashed biplanes through barns, and raced to the rescue in fast cars. They add suspense and drama to the story, portraying the swimmer stalked by the menacing shark, the heroine dangling twenty feet below a soaring hot air balloon, or the woman leaping nine feet over a wall to escape a dog attack. Only an expert can make such feats of daring look easy, and stuntwomen with the skills to perform -- and survive -- great moments of action in movies have been hitting their mark in Hollywood since the beginning of film. Here, Mollie Gregory presents the first history of stuntwomen in the film industry from the silent era to the twenty-first century. In the early years of motion pictures, women were highly involved in all aspects of film production, but they were marginalized as movies became popular, and more important, profitable. Capable stuntwomen were replaced by men in wigs, and very few worked between the 1930s and 1960s. As late as the 1990s, men wore wigs and women's clothes to double as actresses, and were even "painted down" for some performances, while men and women of color were regularly denied stunt work. For decades, stuntwomen have faced institutional discrimination, unequal pay, and sexual harassment even as they jumped from speeding trains and raced horse-drawn carriages away from burning buildings. Featuring sixty-five interviews, Stuntwomen showcases the absorbing stories and uncommon courage of women who make their living planning and performing action-packed sequences that keep viewers' hearts racing.

Producer of such television shows as The Invaders, Barnaby Jones, The Untouchables, The Streets of San Francisco, Cannon and 12 O'Clock High, Quinn Martin was widely admired for his devotion to his shows, his hands-on approach to the writing, casting and editing of each episode, his interactions with network executives, and the high standards he set for his crew and actors. This detailed study of Martin and his company examines each of his series in detail, from development through cancellation.
Download or read book Identify Yourself written by Lora Starling and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the clothes we wear to the cars we drive, we design our lives every minute of every day. Doing this consciously lets us create the life we desire. Successful brands know what they want, and they know how to get it. They design the future they want and create the process to reach it. At the heart of this process lies the logo. Without it, we would not recognise the brand, and we could not display our allegiance to it. The logo identifies and calls us to the brand dream. Our ancient ancestors used the same elements of colours and symbols to draw their visions on cave walls, and early languages were considered sacred. This time-proven tool has been honed by modern designers and is available to us all. A logo effectively holds the imprint of a business and conveniently straddles the world of our imagination and of our solid world of manifestation. Like visual ambassadors, logos deliver our dreams to the world so they might become reality. This book shows you how.
