Download or read book The Whole Ninth Floor written by Richard Seff and published by Samuel French, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comedy / 6m, 5f / Interior Across the street from the 'mad men' of Madison Avenue live the Ten Percenters of the National Talent Agency. It's the same time, 1962, a secretary is still a toy, boys will still be boys, but the times they are a changin'. Audiences will love to hear what's happening on The Whole Ninth Floor "First impression is that it is a string of jokes tied together rather loosely. A moment's concentration brings home however the basic fact that Seff weaves a story based on the young man's intense and insistent desire to do the right thing. The laughs come fast, and they are plentiful." - The Patterson Call "The comedy construction of The Whole Ninth Floor is made up of wall-to-wall witticisms. Seff has a good ear and facile pen for manufacturing witty dialog. Also he obviously knows, from first hand experience, Madison Avenue and the talent agency area of show business, for his prototypes and inside trade references are accurate and appropriate." - The Scotch Plain Times "A sparkling new comedy, a tremendously funny play." - The Herald News
Download or read book Grayson Hall A Hard Act to Follow written by R J Jamison and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grayson Hall was a widely acclaimed New York Theatre actress, 1964 Academy Award nominee, and co-star of the 1960s?70s Gothic television serial, Dark Shadows. Here for the first time is a survey of her life and career which takes place in the world of New York writers and artists beginning in the early 1950s; a world that revolved around serious intellectual discourse, cocktails, cigarettes and theatre! Grayson's own story is that of a hugely talented woman, admired by writers, producers, fellow actors, but who did not get the one role that would propel her into the stratosphere. Nevertheless, with the roles she did inhabit, she became an iconic figure. This book reaches back to Grayson's earliest stage appearances in 1942 as a teenager on Long Island; her extensive stage work in regional theatre and in New York City; her television and film appearances including three early New York art house films, the avant-garde French film Qui êtes-vous, You Polly Maggoo? and her Oscar nominated turn in The Night of the Iguana. And for Dark Shadows followers, this book answers some lingering questions: who got hired on Shadows first, Grayson or her husband Sam? Was it always happiness and light on the Dark Shadows set? And did she really do much aside from Shadows or Iguana?

Download or read book The Celestial Society written by Vivian Burch Martin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important figure in mid-Twentieth Century medicine and cardiology, brilliant, dynamic George Burch was outstanding on every front — pioneering researcher in multiple aspects of the body’s workings, an inspiring educator, editor and prolific writer, and electrifying lecturer. His patients loved him for his gentleness, common sense approach and tireless advocacy on their behalf. Immersed in medicine from childhood as he assisted his father, a physician in rural Louisiana, he was influential worldwide by a surprisingly young age. Possessed of a healthy sense of humor, he was nevertheless deeply serious of purpose. He was an independent thinker, outspoken and unfazed by mainstream opinion. Increasingly controversial, he became a hero to some, but to others an outdated fossil. The life story of this remarkable man resonates vividly in today’s environment of confusion and inordinate expense in medical care.
Download or read book Cadhla written by Lynn Bernard and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cadhla: Only You By: Lynn Bernard Cadhla is a child psychologist working towards a new degree as a psychiatrist. She has been concentrating on her career for the last few years as a safe haven from the heartache of her fiancé’s infidelity. As she mends her heart she has looked deeper into her psyche to discern her desires, the fantasy that led her to the current status of her love life. She knows she has flaws that she has to identify and correct. No one is perfect, are they? Cadhla starts her quest for more than three years to find someone who has character, self-assurance, and is gentle with a good sense of humor. He should come from a strong family background, she knows, with strong values from his parents. Mack is looking for his next distraction. He never dates women who really are all about marriage and family. No, his dates, as he refers to them, are strong career-orientated women. He wants someone to go out to dinner, clubs, or just a good night physically and within a couple of months move on to the next distraction. The orbit around his world is fast paced and strenuous and he loves it! Cadhla is caught in his revolution at first. But as she takes back control, Mack fights as he tries to keep his balance. When Mack enters her orbit, Cadhla is so different from the business career women Mack dates. She is beautiful, gentle, caring, and sensual. She understands and is interested in Mack instead of what he can provide for her. Dinners, clubs, and trinkets don’t interest her. In Cadhla’s orbit it is calm, fun, and peaceful; her revolution is at a slower pace, one where you have time to analyze what you want. But Mack has built up a barrier to his emotions, and she is forcing him to look over that wall. Will they, like Cupid and Psyche, overcome these obstacles, or will it end up as a tragedy?

Download or read book Imagine written by Emil Nnani and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have read many books and have seen many movies that all begin with “This is based on a true story,” and many times I have wondered why they would say that. To be based on a true story means something is false and added in. This story is my story and is told by me. This story is not based on a true story at all; this is a true story —Emil E-Fetti Nnani Imagine is a story of a young man born into a life that he doesn’t deserve. A story of a young man who was dealt the cards of life, cards which no man would be willing to play. A story of a young man who has lost all hope in life, so he was forced to create his own life in his imagination. Imagine starts off telling us about Emil’s childhood. Every detail is explained. Emil’s childhood was terrible, horrible, and overall, his childhood was unbelievable. He used everything around him in his childhood to his benefit, which helped fuel his imagination of a better world and a better life. Both of his parents are from Africa. His dad abandoned him; his mom was snatched away from him and tossed in prison. He stood alone. At times he thought even his God left him and he was left only with his imagination. He was a child with an incredible imagination, which took him to be a king in the eyes of his peers. He got involved with the wrong crowd, gangs, guns, girls, drugs, and the law. Surrounded by prayers from his mother and pastor but not caring about his life, he went to serve time in prison like his mom. Life was hard for him, and it only got harder. After barely surviving in prison, he was released with hopes of changing and living a better life, but things never turn out as we plan them. His imagination kept him alive in the streets of Raleigh and kept him breathing behind those prison gates, but the straw that finally broke the camel’s back was when his imagination was put to the test.

Download or read book A Social History written by William A. C. Polk and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This social history is not just an autobiography. The emphasis of this personal history to is to demonstrate that Social History develops as a consequence of interactions and relationships between human beings. Not one of us consciously sets out to change the world, but minuscule changes resulting from our presence, causes us, without being aware of it, to leave an imprint on all humanity. Reflection on these two facts can generate realization that every human being on earth can and does effect change in the human condition. Consequently, few of us realize how significant our life existence really is, until someone reminds us that our presence made a host of differences in their own lives. Once we become aware of this truth, we can record expositions such as this one. After 87 years of living, the mountaintops and the valleys of my life have become --only in hindsight --a tangible part of our country's Social History. All I have done here is what I hope many more of you can, and will do --record your own history, and enjoy the vision of how your interactions with people helped to shape you, your family, your community, your society and the world. What is Life all about? Are you important to all humanity? The answer to the second question---- OH YES YOU ARE!! That's what I've tried to show you here.
