Screenwriter Jesse L. Lasky, Jr. tells his Hollywood tales as an insider, with stories and insights sparkling with poetry, humor and the heat of first-hand observation. He grew up as the son of Jesse Lasky, the man who produced Hollywood's first feature film, and formed a company that became Paramount. Jesse's book is the history of the film industry, the birth of an art form, and a compelling personal memoir. There are revealing portraits of Lasky, Sr. and his partners Samuel Goldwyn and Cecil B. De Mille (for whom Jesse wrote 8 films, including The Ten Commandments and Samson & Delilah) - and friends and colleagues such as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Alfred Hitchcock, Harry Cohn, Darryl Zanuck, Nick Ray and Sam Fuller. From dating Jean Harlow to writing for Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson and Yul Brynner, here are the artists and the conmen, the breathtaking creativity and the destructive treachery, described by a man who knew everyone and saw everything.New edition with 353 exclusive photographs and Foreword by Lasky's stepson, Dr. Richard Niles."Jesse Lasky, the son of one of filmland's great founders, has written a bitter-sweet memoir of his life as a Hollywood screenwriter. It evaporates the mist of fantasy surrounding the Hollywood dream factory to reveal the realities that built the fairy-tale image." -Joan Crawford"It is certainly many notches above most of the other books on 'Hollywood'."-Douglas Fairbanks, Jr."One of the best books I've read of Hollywood for a long, long time-maybe ever"-Pola Negri"... a nostalgic, romantic and frequently hilarious account... impressive!"-Variety"... a good, honest, readable, funny book. I loved it!"-Larry Adler, New Society"...one of the best books about the growth and decline of Hollywood... written with insight, wit and an unusual lack of vanity." -Films In Review"Hollywood at its best-and worst... something special, an insider's view, robustly witty, enlightening and full of charm, The next best thing to having been there!" - Cosmopolitan"Lasky's portraits of the greats with whom he has worked are razor sharp... his style is captivating." - Films Illustrated

Diana Serra Cary's well-wrought, empathetic narrative presents the underside of the glittering stage and screen world: frightened children, merchants who buy and sell childhood as a commodity, rapacious stage mothers and fathers whose ambition and avarice make them willing to sacrifice their children to fulfill their own dreams. The first part of the book mines a lode of new information, recounting stories of the precursors to Hollywood's child stars (and their ambitious parents) - the spectacular 1853 stage debut of four-year-old Cordelia Howard, the rise of red-haired Lotta Crabtree in California's Gold Rush camps, and the travails and triumphs of the hoydenish Elsie Janis as she ad-libbed her way to stardom. Cary - as "Baby Peggy", Hollywood's pioneer child star, the youngest in theatrical history - has lived her subject, surviving a childhood filled with an enormous workload, some real physical danger, and emotional trauma. She weaves her own story of being her family's chief breadwinner with similar tales involving famous movie children she knew and worked with - Jackie Coogan, Shirley Temple, Mickey Rooney, and Judy Garland, among many others.

Edward S. Feldman's legendary career began in advertising and publicity at 20th Century-Fox in the 1950s, and from there he worked his way up to executive studio positions within Seven Arts, Filmways, and Warner Brothers. Following this, he has spent the last twenty-five years as a successful, Academy Award-nominated film producer. Ed's unique story takes readers on a more than fifty-year journey through Hollywood that few can tell--and most will never forget. With tales from the set of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? to why a well-known actor trashed Ed's office and why a major Hollywood mogul tried to turn all of Tinseltown against one of Ed's films, readers will learn what it takes to produce a film and survive the jungles of Hollywood, laughing all the way. Tell Me How You Love the Picture is a smartly written, surprising, hilarious memoir that takes us behind the scenes with wild, no-holds-barred stories about major Hollywood personalities ranging from Bette Davis to Elizabeth Taylor, Stanley Kubrick to Scott Rudin, Harrison Ford to Jim Carrey to Eddie Murphy and more. As a top studio exec and one of Hollywood's most respected producers, Feldman has seen the film business from the inside out, worked with some of the best talent in the industry, and experienced things few can imagine. An incredible Hollywood memoir from one of moviedom's renowned producers, Tell Me How You Love the Picture is full of insight and the stuff of gossip, bad behavior, and high success.
