Life, Liberty &; the Pursuit of Hollywood : More of My Wacky Adventures in Tinseltown

"While working as Roger Corman's story editor at Concorde-New HorizonsPictures, I discovered that Michael Druxman knows how to spin a good yarn.Reading his Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Hollywood has taught me howthoroughly Michael knows his way around Movieland. It's all here:his years as a publicist, a screenwriter, a playwright, and a hawker ofmemorabilia at autograph shows. The book's most revealing moments involvehis brief encounters with a wide array of stars. He's worked withcelebrities who are wonderful, and with others who are rude, forgetful,cheap, backstabbing, drunk-or too honest for their own good."- Beverly Gray, biographer, Roger Corman: Blood-Sucking Vampires,Flesh-Eating Cockroaches, and Driller Killers"Druxman's style flows so beautifully, that you don't realize that what youare, indeed, reading is a contribution to film history! His interactionswith so many of the Hollywood elite (and not so elite) really do contributeto a fuller and deeper understanding of them. Some of the stories arepredictably humorous. Some are jaw-droppers. Some were sad. ALL-and I meanall-were well framed, beautifully developed, and word-to-word dynamite. Idid NOT want this book to end."- Annette Lloyd, film historian
