Book excerpt: As Calvin Coolidge once said, the business of America is business. Yet no matter what that business is, only a handful of individuals control it. With vision, determination, and passion, these men and women have bent the world to their wills. Some were millionaires from birth; others have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. From computers to shoes to cars, their hands have shaped the fabric of everyday life. Here, 15 of the most important men and women of the last 45 years of American business -- including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump, Ted Turner, Hugh Hefner, Leona Helmsley, Barry Diller, and Calvin Klein -- speak candidly about their rises to power. First published in the no-holds-barred pages of "Playboy," the interviews are in many cases the most thoughtful and direct these men and women ever gave. All represent an intimate visit with the entrepreneurs who have moved America forward and have shaken the foundations of who Americans believe themselves to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles is the Peninsula Hotel, Spago Beverly Hills, and a beach place in Malibu. It's also...Barney's Beanery, Koo Koo Roo chicken, and 24-hour fitness centers. Not to mention the parents' place in the Valley with its wet bar and kidney-shaped pool. In Stephen Randall's hilarious novel of manners and mores in Los Angeles, twin brothers Perry and Tim Newman fight the ties that bind them to their pasts on the other side of Mulholland while trying to make their mark in the teeming competitive world spread out below the canyons. While Perry swaggers home with a new girlfriend on his arm and a development deal in his pocket, Tim toils in the decidedly temporary offices of a web site, Hollywood Today, and wonders if there will ever be a right moment to spring his sexuality on his parents. But Syd and Ann Newman's lives haven't stopped because the boys moved into town. Syd's life work, Newman's Super Honda, is under attack, and Ann's serial passions for therapy, activism, and real estate are beginning to take their toll. When Tim has a rare chance to be a hero, will he take it? Will the balance of fraternal power shift once and for all?

Book excerpt: You already know about the Bunnies, now learn about the music that helped shape Playboy. Playboy—the magazine, the empire, the lifestyle—is one of the world's best known brands. Since the launch of Playboy magazine in 1953, two elements have been remarkably consistent: the first, is the celebration of the female form. The second, readers may be surprised to learn, is Playboy's involvement in the music scene. The playboy experience has never been just about sex, but about lifestyle. Hugh Hefner's personal passion for music, particularly fine jazz, has always been an essential component of that. Full of interviews with hundreds of people who were on the scene throughout the rise, fall, and on-going renaissance, Playboy Swings carries readers on a seductive journey. Farmer focuses on Playboy's involvement in the music scene and impact on popular entertainment, and demonstrates how the empire helped change the world by integrating television and festivals. Join Patty Farmer as she guides the reader through the first inception of the Playboy empire through the 1959 Jazz Festival, and club opening after club opening. With 60 pages of photos and a complete reference guide, readers will associate music, not just Bunnies, when thinking about Playboy after reading this enthralling look into the history of one of the world's most infamous brands.

Book excerpt: Movies are the common language of the world, speaking to us all on an emotional and intellectual level that almost no other art form can.

In THE DIRECTORS fourteen of the most widely respected and creative filmmakers discuss what drives them and inspires them in their craft, with revealing, thought-provoking and highly personal discussions that range from Roman Polanski's thoughts on the murder of his wife in the nightmarish Manson Family massacre to Oliver Stone's frank discussions about the challenges he faced in creating his memorable films and many others.

Download or read book The Playboy Interviews written by Alex Haley and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1993 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows Alex Haley as the world-renowned author of the international bestseller ROOTS, and as the writer who collaborated with Malcolm X on his historic autobiography. What many people don't know is that Alex Haley began his professional writing career as a journalist. It was his experience in this arena that earned him the plum assignment as Playboy's first -- and foremost -- interviewer. Witness Haley's work with the pre-Ali Cassius Clay, in which the posture of the young rebel fell away and a sensitive, intelligent young man emerged. He lured Malcolm X beyond his scathing Black Muslim rhetoric to reveal the agile, perceptive mind of a charismatic leader. With Johnny Carson, Haley revealed the man behind the mask of a charming television raconteur. And, in a devasting interview with George Lincoln Rockwell, the self-appointed fuhrer of the American Nazi Party, Haley deftly exposed the frightening heart and soul of the twisted man and his racist ideology. A fascinating slice of recent history, an extraordinarily candid collection of celebrity interviews and personal reminiscences, ALEX HALEY: THE PLAYBOY INTERVIEWS anthologizes for the first time a gifted writer's finest work at its controversial and informative best.

Download or read book The Coppolas written by Vincent LoBrutto and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at a Hollywood dynasty offers an in-depth study of the films and artistry of iconic director Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter, Sofia, exploring their work and their impact on each other, both personally and professionally. The Coppolas: A Family Business examines the lives, films, and relationship of two exemplary filmmakers, Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter Sofia. It looks at their commonalities and differences, as artists and people, and at the way those qualities are reflected in their work. Much of the book is devoted to Francis and his outstanding achievements—and equally notable failures—as a screenwriter, director, producer, and presenter of landmark works of cinema. The narrative goes beyond the heyday of his involvement with Hollywood to analyze his more recent projects and the choices that led him to create small, independent films. In Sofia's case, the story is one of women's growing independence in the arts, revealing how Sofia developed her craft to become a cinematic force in her own right. In addition to its insightful commentary on their contributions to cinema past and present, the volume provides intriguing hints at what fans might anticipate in the future as both Coppolas continue to expand their artistry.

Brady has also filled the book with a myriad of anecdotes revealing the experiences of some of the best known interviewers of our times.
