Now, she is thrust into a world that she didn’t know existed; trying to figure out how to keep her new condition secret from work, kids, and her ex-husband without missing a step. It’s funny how the word vampire will make you forget you have a water bill. Unfortunately, Sorin, the Lord of the city, has sent her on a suicide mission to find the thing that left her for dead before it kills again and he doesn’t take “no, thanks” for an answer. Despite knowing she should despise him, the passion he has ignited inside her is hard to control and she is quickly losing the reasons she shouldn’t give in...especially when he makes it clear that he wants the same thing. Kate will need to reach inside herself to find the strength that was always there and finally learn...she was never “just” anything.

Download or read book Another Day in Showbiz written by Pierre Cossette and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well before the curtains drew on the first annual Grammy Awards ceremony, before the Nevada deserts were lit up by the casinos of Las Vegas, Pierre Cossette was just another Canadian kid, running around the rural town of Valleyfield, Quebec. Circumstances would bring the Cossette family to Pasadena, California; from there, a brazen determination and entrepreneurial savvy would hoist Pierre to the top of the world of glitz and glamour. Along the road, the entertainment industry in the United States would be forever changed by the kid from Valleyfield. In Another Day in Showbiz, Pierre Cossette tells his unique story for the first time -- from his days as a rookie MCA agent in Vegas, pedling the likes of Ann-Margret and Sammy Davis Jr. to wary casino bosses, to his current capers alongside Donald Trump and Celine Dion's extended family. Triumphs and trip-ups, Broadway hits and broadcasting battles, all recounted in a tale that is both the intimate story of one man's life and an unabashed account of the world's most watched industry. Few in Valleyfield, Quebec would have guessed that one of their own would go on to talk Ronald Reagan into doing a show at the Last Frontier Casino, or introduce the concept of the "lounge act" to Las Vegas. Few in the music business would have guessed it possible to start a major record label from scratch, or to televise the Grammy Awards to more than 100 million viewers. Yet Pierre Cossette has accomplished all this -- and plenty more. In Another Day in Showbiz, he tells us how. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical written by Dominic Broomfield-McHugh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the release of Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! in 2001, the film musical has returned to popularity as one of the most important cinematic genres, a box office hit that appeals to audiences of all ages. Yet the history of the musical on film goes back over seven decades earlier than that, stretching from early examples like The Jazz Singer (1927), the first ever film with synchronized sound, through the Astaire-Rogers musicals of the 1930s, the MGM and Warner Brothers extravaganzas of the 1940s and '50s, and the roadshow era of the 1960s. The genre's renaissance with La La Land (2016) and The Greatest Showman (2017) proves that it remains as appealing as ever, capable of both high critical acclaim and widespread box office success. The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical, curated by editor Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, reflects and expands on current scholarship on the film musical in a handbook that mixes new discoveries through archival research with new perspectives on familiar titles. It addresses issues such as why audiences accept people bursting into song in musicals; how technology affects the way numbers are staged; and how writers have adapted their material to suit certain stars. It also looks at critical issues such as racism and sexism, and assesses the role and nature of the film musical in the twenty-first century. A remarkable survey at the cutting edge of the field, The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical will be a resource for students and scholars alike for years to come.
