Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text of The Funsters by James Robert Parish and William T. Leonard, with Gregory W. Mank and Charles Hoyt. The iconic subjects of this volume could pop up in any movie-as plumbers or secretaries or bank tellers, as wives or husbands or (would-be) lovers. They could be pompous or scatterbrained. What they all shared in common was a genius for making funny faces at life. They made us laugh at our world-and ourselves. They are the Hollywood Funsters: the comics, the clowns, and the jesters of the Silver Screen. What are these people like away from the soundstage? How did they get into comedy in the first place? The Funsters provides all the answers in great depth. This substantial volume features 62 of the great Hollywood laugh makers (including several hilarious screen teams). Each has an individual chapter-a chapter rich in fascinating details about the celebrated individual's colorful life-on and off the soundstages, as well as a listing of the star's feature films, with studio and year of release.The vibrant personalities covered in this volume are: Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, Woody Allen, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Eve Arden, Mischa Auer, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Mary Boland, Fanny Brice, Joe E. Brown, George Burns & Gracie Allen, Judy Canova, Eddie Cantor, Charles Chaplin, Charley Chase, Joan Davis, Phyllis Diller, Marie Dressler, Jimmy Durante, Leon Errol, Tom Ewell, W. C. Fields, Charlotte Greenwood, William Haines, Judy Holliday, Bob Hope, Edward Everett Horton, Danny Kaye, Buster Keaton, Patsy Kelly, Ernie Kovacs, Bert Lahr, Arthur Lake, Harry Langdon, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy, Jack Lemmon, Harold Lloyd, Marjorie Main, The Marx Brothers, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Polly Moran, Mabel Normand, Edna May Oliver, ZaSu Pitts, Martha Raye, The Ritz Brothers, Will Rogers, Charlie Ruggles, S. Z. Sakall, George Sidney, Phil Silvers, Red Skelton, Alison Skipworth, Constance Talmadge, The Three Stooges, Thelma Todd, Ben Turpin, Dick Van Dyke, Clifton Webb, Mae West, and Ed Wynn. In The Funsters the funniest men and women the world has ever known have a significant reference volume worthy of their outsized talents.

Continuing the exploration which began in Actresses of a Certain Character: Forty Familiar Hollywood Faces from the Thirties to the Fifties (McFarland, 2006), this companion volume analyzes the contributions of female supporting players in the films of Hollywood's Golden Age. The twenty-five actresses profiled herein range from the easily recognizable (Marie Dressler, Ethel Waters) to the long forgotten (Esther Howard, Evelyn Varden), and from the prolific (Clara Blandick, Mary Forbes) to the "one-work wonders" (Jane Cowl, Queenie Vassar). Each profile captures the essence of the individual performer's on-screen persona, unique talents and popular appeal--with special emphasis on a single definitive performance of the actress's motion picture career (who, for example, could ever forget Josephine Hull in Harvey?). The appendix offers a list of "The 100 Top Performances by Character Actresses in Hollywood, 1930-1960."

One of the most gifted and entertaining journalists writing today, Matt Labash can extract comic humanity from even the most wary politicians, con artists, and rogues—while shedding wisdom about the rich corners of our American experience. Fly Fishing with Darth Vader pulls together the best of Labash’s feature writing and includes his masterful profiles of the outrageous characters who populate America’s periphery, his loving and lacerating portraits of New Orleans and Detroit, and his hilarious tirades on the health hazards of Facebook and the virtues of dodgeball. Among other must-read essays, Labash chronicles Al Sharpton’s eating habits, fishes the Snake River with Dick Cheney, and investigates the “great white waste of time” that is our neighbor to the north. Labash was born with a natural appreciation for the American scoundrel and a sense that life is one big chance for laughter. For those reasons, Fly Fishing with Darth Vader will be cherished and talked about for years.

Simple seeing. Plain talking. Language in use and persons in action. These are among the themes of Virgil Aldrich's writings, from the 1930's onward. Throughout these years, he has been an explorer of conceptual geography: not as a foreign visitor studying an alien land, but close up 'in the language in which we live, move, and have our being'. This is his work. It is clear to those who know him best that he also has fun at it. Yet, in the terms of his oft-cited distinction, it is equally clear that he is to be counted not among the funsters of philosophy, but among its most committed workers. Funsters are those who attempt to do epistemology, metaphysics, or analysis by appealing to examples which are purely imaginary, totally fictional, as unrealistic as you like, 'completely unheard of'. Such imaginative wilfullness takes philosophers away from, not nearer to, 'the rough ground' (Wittgenstein) where our concepts have their origin and working place. In the funsters' imagined, 'barely possible' (but actually impossible) world, simple seeing becomes transformed into the sensing of sense-data; plain talk is rejected as imprecise, vague, and misleading; and per sons in action show up as ensouled physical objects in motion. Then the fly is in the bottle, buzzing out its tedious tunes: the problem of perception of the external world; the problem of meaning and what it is; the mind-body problem. Image-mongering has got the best of image-management.

If life is a test of sorts, a journey preparing us for heaven—shouldn’t there be bits of heaven around us already? This book unveils them! In the book of Matthew, Jesus repeatedly describes heaven—and each time He uses ordinary, earthly examples. This world has many wonderful and mysterious aspects that we might think better suited to describe something as magnificent as heaven—but Jesus uses mustard seeds, hiring workers, children, and weeds as examples. Heaven—Here and Now considers those examples—chosen for a different culture in a different time—and applies them to the here and now, to the everyday stuff of our ordinary lives. It’s a beautiful preview of heaven.

Fatty Arbuckle's career came to a sudden halt amidst allegations that he raped and caused the death of a young starlet named Virginia Rappe. Though he was acquitted, the comedian, who was at one time second in popularity only to Charlie Chaplin, was ruined. Interviews with many of Arbuckle's contemporaries (including Minta Durfee, his first wife) and extensive research inform this serious study of the once-fabled comedian. His early days in the Keystone comedies and his relationship with Chaplin are recounted. The details of the Rappe trial and his life afterwards are also provided.
