The pages of this manuscript tell one man's personal story, exploring the full range of human emotions that are symbolic of the masks of show business and depicting some classic and wonderful tales involving some legendary ladies from the world of entertainment. Through the eyes and heart of Stephen Preston, this lead dancer, singer, and actor makes the reader feel like they were there with Judy Garland at the Palace in New York, the Palladium in London, the Las Vegas stages with Betty Grable, Debbie Reynolds; some off-the-wall, hilarious escapades with Tallulah Bankhead, and an inside look at the social Me of Garland's daughter, Lisa Minnelli. Mr. Preston, who performed with and became close friends with these major stars, gives you a first-hand look into the moments of joy, laughter, success and, yes, some tears and even failure. Written in a light, candid, and sometimes almost campy kind of style, this is the first time a book has come along that does not gossip about their failed marriages, sex lives or prey upon their human weaknesses! In fact, we see a side of these bigger-than-life performers that, in the past, little has been written or talked about The reader will come along on train and plane trips; be there backstage at Broadway, television, movie, and night club performances. They'll sit with the Royal Family at the Palladium in London and will party at the Beverly Hills private homes of Hollywood celebrities. and the reader will even witness the final days of Betty Grable's long, hard battle with cancer. "Dancing in the Rainbow is a fascinating account of some of the days of their lives, including Stephen Preston's. Those days are gone and so are some of the people, but the time spent is what can make life on this planet so very interesting and worthwhile! Mr. Preston is retired from show business but is an active business man and lives in Palm Springs, California.

Quite simply, this book is a work of genius - Matthew Parris, The Spectator An absolutely extraordinary book ... a huge collage and anthology of diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper reports, trial documents, all of this, about actually what life was like for homosexual men in London in the 1940s and the 1950s... It’s amazing, because the collage effect gives you a sense of the extreme complexity of this picture - Dominic Sandbrook An intriguing collage of the era’s mood - Robbie Millen, The Times The first part of a major new anthology which uncovers the rich reality of life for queer men in London In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated. In a major new anthology, Peter Parker explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as John Gielgud, ‘Chips’ Channon and E.M. Forster, or living lives of quiet – or occasionally rowdy – anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalisation. This first volume, from 1945 to 1959, details a community forced to live at constant risk of blackmail or prison. Yet it also shows a thriving and joyous subculture, one that enriched a mainstream culture often ignorant of its debt to gay creators. Some Men In London is a testament to queer life, which was always much more complex than newspapers, governments and the Metropolitan Police Force imagined.

Meet Charles Paris: a washed-up actor with a taste for wine, women . . . and solving crimes! A binge-worthy cozy mystery series from the original king of British cozy crime, internationally best-selling, award-winning author Simon Brett, OBE. For fans of Richard Osman - but with added bite!

Perfect entertainment" THE GUARDIAN "A new Simon Brett is an event for mystery fans" P.D.

You don't want to be on THE DEAD SIDE OF THE MIKE! Little-known actor Charles Paris just wants to get a drink after a job well done recording a BBC radio drama. Instead he finds himself stuck in the spiralling tedium of a BBC committee meeting in whose subject he has no interest at all. The evening gets worse when the body of studio manager Andrea Gower is found in the editing suite of Broadcasting House. It's an obvious suicide . . . but when another death occurs, Charles isn't as convinced anymore. With numerous potential suspects, Charles uncovers layers of scandal linked to higher powers - and greater dangers than he could have imagined. But will Charles bring the truth to light, or will he be the newest victim of the cover up that led to Andrea's death? Fans of Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club, Anthony Horowitz, Alexander McCall Smith, M.C.

After decades of theatrical ventures and performing together, 1957 would be the last time Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh would work together, with a European tour and London season of Shakespeare's seldom-performed Titus Andronicus. Strangely, not much has been written about one of the most prestigious touring theatre productions of all time, which visited six European capitals and became the first British Shakespearean company to perform beyond the Iron Curtain at the height of the Cold War. Now, David Barry tells the entire inside story of the incredible tour, in which he - at the age of just fourteen - played Olivier's grandson, accompanying the media-power couple of the decade around Europe. This is theatre history that has never before been told in such detail and will take the reader on the trip of a lifetime to discover what really went on during the crazy, hectic, wild and yet still utterly sensational touring production.

The third book in the Blue Door series, which starts with The Swish of the Curtain, the classic story which inspired actors from Maggie Smith to Eileen Atkins "I wanted to act before I read this book, and afterwards there was no stopping me" Maggie Smith 'How do you think you'll like the Academy?''Like it!' cried Lyn. 'I love it already. I'd not have missed it for the world. This has been the happiest day of my life.' At the Actors' Guild in London, the Blue Door Theatre Company are throwing themselves into anything that will bring the dreams of their own theatre to life - touring the country with the Guild's summer productions, working behind the scenes at local theatrical companies, even taking walk-on parts between classes. But just as plans for their own beloved Blue Door seem almost within their grasp, a disaster threatens to destroy one career for good... Pamela Brown (1924–1989) was a British writer, actor then television producer. She was just fourteen when she started writing her first book, and the town of Fenchester in the book is inspired by her home town of Colchester. During the Second World War, she went to live in Wales, so The Swish of the Curtain was not published until 1941, when she was sixteen. She used the earnings from the books to train at RADA, and became an actor and a producer of children's television programmes.
