A memoir of the rise and fall of one female screenwriter’s career during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Freddie Maas’s revealing memoir offers a unique perspective on the film industry and Hollywood culture in their early days and illuminates the plight of Hollywood writers working within the studio system. An ambitious twenty-three-year-old, Maas moved to Hollywood and launched her own writing career by drafting a screenplay of the bestselling novel The Plastic Age for “It” girl Clara Bow. With that script, she landed a staff position at powerhouse MGM studios. In the years to come, she worked with and befriended numerous actors and directors, including Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Eric von Stroheim, as well as such writers and producers as Thomas Mann and Louis B. Mayer. As a professional screenwriter, Frederica quickly learned that scripts and story ideas were frequently rewritten, and that screen credit was regularly given to the wrong person. Studio executives wanted well-worn plots, but it was the writer’s job to develop the innovative situations and scintillating dialogue that would bring to picture to life. For over twenty years, Freddie and her friends struggled to survive in this incredibly competitive environment. Through it all, Freddie remained a passionate, outspoken woman in an industry run by powerful men, and her provocative, nonconformist ways brought her success, failure, wisdom, and a wealth of stories, opinions, and insight into a fascinating period in screen history. Praise for The Shocking Miss Pilgrim “In this memorable tell-all, rise-and-fall memoir, Maas brings the gimlet hindsight of Julia Phillips’s You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again to early Hollywood, and the results are thoroughly captivating.” —Publishers Weekly “A bittersweet, extraordinarily detailed recollection of Maas’s 30-year career in the motion picture industry. . . . Chockablock with anecdotes, and a blinding amount of star-wattage to boot.” —Salon.com

The Oscar-winning screenwriter of On the Waterfront recounts his life, his career, and “how Hollywood became the dream factory it still is today” (Kirkus Reviews). When Seymour Wilson “Budd” Schulberg moved from New York to Los Angeles as a child, Hollywood’s filmmaking industry was just getting started. To some, the region was still more famous for its citrus farms than its movie studios. In this iconic memoir, Schulberg, the son of one of Tinseltown’s most influential producers, recounts the rise of the studios, the machinations of the studio heads, and the lives of some of cinema’s earliest and greatest stars. Even as Hollywood grew to become one of the country’s most powerful cultural and economic engines, it retained the feel of a company town for decades. Schulberg’s sparkling recollections offer a unique insider view of both the glitter and dark side of the dream factory’s early years. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Considering that he worked a stint as a screen writer, it will come as little surprise that Faulkner has often been called the most cinematic of novelists. Faulkner’s novels were produced in the same high period as the films of classical Hollywood, a reason itself for considering his work alongside this dominant form. Beyond their era, though, Faulkner’s novels—or the ways in which they ask readers to see as well as feel his world—have much in common with film. That Faulkner was aware of film and that his novels’ own “thinking” betrays his profound sense of the medium and its effects broadens the contexts in which he can be considered. In a range of approaches, the contributors consider Faulkner’s career as a scenarist and collaborator in Hollywood, the ways his screenplay work and the adaptations of his fiction informed his literary writing, and how Faulkner’s craft anticipates, intersects with, or reflects upon changes in cultural history across the lifespan of cinema. Drawing on film history, critical theory, archival studies of Faulkner’s screenplays and scholarship about his work in Hollywood, the nine essays show a keen awareness of literary modernism and its relation to film.

Lila Leeds was born on January 28, 1928 in Dodge City, Kansas, USA as Lila Lee Wilkinson. She was an actress, known for "Wild Weed" (1949), "Moonrise" (1948), "Lady In The Lake" (1947) and bit roles in other films. While contracted to MGM she was arrested with Robert Mitchum, and others, for Marijuana. Eventually, after other incidents a judge exiled her from California for 5 years. Though she had a successful nightclub singing career, she had numerous arrests and legal problems as a result of her ongoing drug addiction. She was married and divorced four times, and eventually lost custody of her three children. Ordained a minister in 1974 she opened the S.M.I.L.E. halfway house in Hollywood, accepting residents, many of which were addicts, from both County and State. She died on September 15, 1999 in Canoga Park, California. The first 12 chapters of this book were written around 1958 in Chicago after Lila was discharged from the Levinson Rehabilitation Center, having finally kicked her latest drug addiction. A columnist urged her to write a book while events and people were still fresh. The book had anecdotes about Robert Mitchum, Howard Hughes, Orson Welles and others during her Hollywood days. However, publishers were not interested in a firsthand account of drug addiction from an ex-starlet. Lila shelved the script. We revisited the original script around 1979 and decided to add about twenty more years (1958 - 1978), which included her continuous dealing with her own and others drug addiction. As happens, daily life intervened and the next draft wasn't ready for another ten years. While last visiting me in Texas Lila reminded me of how important she felt the book was, and had me promise I would one day try to get it published. I am sorry it took so long mom. Today, with Opioid (and other drug) use an epidemic in this country, many people are now addicts deluding themselves otherwise. Besides the proliferation of illegal drugs, new or renewed drug prescriptions are handed out before the ink on the previous ones have dried. However, this book is not a Hollywood expose' or a sermon against drug use. Rather, this is my mother sharing her life experiences giving you a rare in-depth, brutally honest look at the mental, physical, and emotional aspects of her drug addiction where, as high as the highs were, the lows were always lower. Thus, this story might allow you to at least know what to expect before you begin, or as you travel down the path of your own possible drug use. Having a syringe in my arm on more than one occasion, I know the brutal honesty of this story. More importantly, this story brings to light the harsh reality of all addictions: the addicted are never in control of their lives. Their belief they are in control is merely an insidious delusion crafted by their addiction. The absolute truth is, addicts are not, nor ever will be in control of their lives as long as they are still addicted.

John Irving's memoir begins with his account of the distinguished career and medical writings of the novelist's grandfather Dr. Frederick C. Irving, a renowned obstetrician and gynecologist, and includes Mr. Irving's incisive history of abortion politics in the United States. But My Movie Business focuses primarily on the thirteen years John Irving spent adapting his novel The Cider House Rules for the screen--for four different directors. Mr. Irving also writes about the failed effort to make his first novel, Setting Free the Bears, into a movie; about two of the films that were made from his novels (but not from his screenplays), The World According to Garp and The Hotel New Hampshire; about his slow progress at shepherding his screenplay of A Son of the Circus into production. Not least, and in addition to its qualities as a memoir--anecdotal, comic, affectionate, and candid--My Movie Business is an insightful essay on the essential differences between writing a novel and writing a screenplay. The photographs in My Movie Business were taken by Stephen Vaughan, the still photographer on the set of The Cider House Rules--a Miramax production directed by Lasse Hallström, with Michael Caine in the role of Dr. Larch. Concurrently with the November 1999 release of the film, Talk Miramax Books will publish John Irving's screenplay.
