| Arthur Miller - Timebends
|
Arthur Miller 125:-
One of America's most famous playwright here does with his life story what nature does with rock strata, folding it back on itself to achieve the effects of many-layered richness and simultaneity that he aims for in his plays.
Miller traces the genesis of his plays in his life experience, provides vivid portraits of a host of notables in the worlds of theater, cinema and politics, including Elia Kazan, Lee and Paula Strasberg, John Huston, Clark Gable, Sir Laurence Olivier, John F. Kennedy and Mikhail Gorbachev, and a detailed, deeply touching one of his second wife, Marilyn Monroe, who finally slipped from his reach. Tough, compassionate, bristling with intelligence and profound reflections on the dramas of life and stage, this is one of the memorable autobiographies of our time.

| Christopher Walken - A to Z
|
Robert Schnakenberg 80:-
He’s been a dancer, a baker, a lion tamer, an award-winning actor, and a Hollywood legend. But Christopher Walken has never been the subject of a comprehensive biographical reference—until now.
Here at last is a complete A-to-Z guide to this one-of-a-kind performer, featuring entries on everything from the Actors Studio (the legendary theatrical workshop where Walken spent eleven years as a janitor) to Zombie Movies (one of Walken’s favorite film genres).

| Clint Eastwood
|
Richard Schickel 125:-
From the moment The Man With No Name first fixed the screen with his murderous squint, from the first time audiences heard Dirty Harry Callahan growl "Make my day," Clint Eastwood has been an icon of American manhood in all its coolness and ferocity. But that icon is also an actor of surprising subtlety, a filmmaker of vast intelligence and originality--and an intensely private man who eludes the stereotypes with which his fans and critics try to label him.
In this in-depth biography, the distinguished film critic Richard Schickel talks with Eastwood's family, friends, and colleagues--and, above all, with his notoriously reticent subject--to produce a portrait more astute and revealing than any we have ever had.

|
Harriet Andersson 80:-
Harriet Andersson är en av svensk films mest rosade filmskådespelerskor. I denna bok, som kan karaktäriseras som en självbiografi, berättar hon rakt, personligt och meddelsamt om livet, karriären, människorna, mötena och relationerna.
Samt naturligtvis om filmerna, Bergman och sig själv - med betoning på det sistnämnda. Vi får följa med från de första åren på revyscenen, via mindre roller på filmduken, till huvudroller i en rad filmer.

Via nedslag bland dessa underhållningsgiganters många verk får vi en bild av vad som ledde fram till alla infall, influenser och improvisationer. Nyfiket, men inte okritiskt, studeras den tid som formade dem - och som de var med om att forma.

|
Peter O'Toole 80:-
Peter O'Toole's account of his early life - a childhood framed by "Captain" Patrick O'Toole, itinerant racetrack bookmaker and Constance Jane Eliot Ferguson who had "wavy black hair, quick eyes and a determination to marry for money", his schooldays under the long shadow of Adolf Hitler, his years in the navy, his short-lived career as a cub reporter and the almost accidental audition at RADA that launched his career.

| Woody Allen: Fun with Woody
|
Graham Flashner 50:-
Screenwriter Flashner uses a Q & A format to test readers' knowledge of the "funniest lines and scenes from Woody's films, plays, books and nightclub routines, as well as behind-the-scenes production notes." The more than 500 questions are difficult and include, for example, "For all of Woody's New York filming, he only rides the subway once . . . and is terrorized. In which movie does he ride?"
