Download or read book The Boys in the Mail Room written by Iris Rainer Dart and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breezy novel of Hollywood in the vein of Jackie Collins, "The Boys in the Mail Room" charts the rise of four ambitious young men through the ranks of the Hollywood studio system, starting in the 60s. Author Iris Rainer (who later penned "Beaches") has created an engaging portrait of the price of fame and the long, challenging climb to the top. Be advised, this was written in 1980, and one of the characters is a homosexual, and as was the condition of the time, most of the other characters view this lifestyle with contempt and disdain...its an interesting footnote to how things have (thankfully) changed for the better in our more enlightened times.

Download or read book The Mailroom written by David Rensin and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s like a plot from a Hollywood potboiler: start out in the mailroom, end up a mogul. But for many, it happens to be true. Some of the biggest names in entertainment—including David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Michael Ovitz— started their dazzling careers in the lowly mailroom. Based on more than two hundred interviews, David Rensin unfolds the never-before-told history of an American institution—in the voices of the people who lived it. Through nearly seven decades of glamour and humiliation, lousy pay and incredible perks, killer egos and a kill-or-be-killed ethos, you’ll go where the trainees go, learn what they must do to get ahead, and hear the best insider stories from the Hollywood everyone knows about but no one really knows. A vibrant tapestry of dreams, desire, and exploitation, The Mailroom is not only an engrossing read but a crash course, taught by the experts, on how to succeed in Hollywood.

Download or read book Memoirs of a Failure written by Tom Jennings and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of a Failure is like no other Hollywood memoir. It is the autobiography of a Hollywood agent and former casting director, Tom Jennings, whose personal demons provide a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of hubris and how to stay out of them. After the University of Illinois, Jennings moved to LA and two years later became a top casting director, first at Universal and then at Warner Brothers. Always fast out of the gate. He was then talked into starting a talent agency with Walter Beakel, which they parlayed into some early success and became one of the top boutique agencies in Hollywood with a partner in London. At its peak, Beakel and Jennings represented stars on The Dukes of Hazard, Charlie's Angels, Happy Days and many more series; writers such as Irving Stone and Taylor Caldwell, musicians Burl Ives and Gene Simmons, DJ Rick Dees, athletes Dick Butkus and Bubba Smith, and comedians Foster Brooks, Henny Youngman, and Buddy Hacket, as well as future super star Julian Fellowes. Uber agent status was next. A bright star appeared on the horizon. Or was that a nuclear explosion? Explosion it was. Alcohol fueled business deals unraveled at an alarming rate. The Hobbit, Bat Man, The Blues Brothers, Red Star Over China, Norton and Ali, King Tut, Blitz, Dracula and several others fell through the cracks and became missed opportunities later championed by others. The movers and shakers of the time would have made them happen; Beakel and Jennings had them first, but were too busy figuring things out over cocktails at The Rangoon Racket Club, or The Polo Lounge. Worst of all was the chronic illness of his youngest son, Hugo, who developed epilepsy, which changed his life completely, as well as his Dad's. In 1969 Jennings was on the fast track. In 1993 he was by himself living in his brother's fourteen foot duck hunting trailer. What went wrong? This book answers that question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stand-alone sequel to The Doldrums, which the New York Times called “a dreamy charmer of a book,” is a second tour-de-force by author-illustrator Nicholas Gannon. It brims with the spirit of exploration and celebrates the bond of friendship. The exquisite hardcover package features Gannon’s distinctive full color full-page art throughout, as well as black-and-white spot illustrations. The Doldrums and the Helmsley Curse is a timeless tale and a beautiful gift for a young reader. Archer Helmsley’s grandparents—famous explorers who went missing on an iceberg two years ago—are finally coming home. Archer is overjoyed, but he may be the only one. Rumors are flying that Archer’s grandparents were never really abandoned on the iceberg; that they’re making it all up. Archer knows that the rumors are false. With his best friends, Oliver and Adélaïde, and their new neighbor, Kana, Archer sets out during a snowstorm to rescue his grandparents’ reputation. In the tradition of Roald Dahl, Lemony Snicket, and Brian Selznick, Nicholas Gannon’s wildly imaginative world of The Doldrums and the Helmsley Curse is packed with sly humor, an undeniably charming cast of characters, and the thrill of discovering secrets and adventures right in your own backyard. With approximately twenty pieces of full color full-page artwork, as well as spot illustrations, and deft, literary writing, Nicholas Gannon once again creates a fully realized world and a story to sink into and explore. “Irresistible.”—Booklist
Download or read book The Only Woman in the Room written by Rita Lakin and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). Rita Lakin was a pioneer a female scriptwriter in the early 1960s when Hollywood television was exclusively male. For years, in creative meetings she was literally "the only woman in the room." In this breezy but heartfelt remembrance, Lakin takes readers to a long-forgotten time when women were not considered worthy or welcome at the creative table. Widowed with three young children, she talked herself into a secretarial job at Universal Studios in 1962, despite being unable to type or take dictation. With guts, skill, and humor, she rose from secretary to freelancer, to staff writer, to producer, to executive producer and showrunner, meeting hundreds of famous and infamous show biz legends along the way during her long and unexpected career. She introduced many women into the business and was a feminist before she even knew she was one. The general public did not know her name, but Lakin touched the lives of millions of viewers week after week, year after year. The relevance of her personal journey charming yet occasionally shocking will be an eye-opener to present-day who take for granted the abundance of female creative talent in today's Hollywood.
