Book Description Outrageous, outspoken, and uninhibited, Tallulah Bankhead was an actress known as much for her vices -- cocaine, alcohol, hysterical tirades, and scandalous affairs with both men and women -- as she was for her winning performances on stage In 1917, a fifteen-year-old Bankhead boldly left her established Alabama political оввжэ family and fled to New York City to sate her relentless need for attention and become a star Five years later, she crossed the Atlantic, immediately taking her place as a fixture in British society and the most popular actress in London's West End By the time she returned to America in the 1930s, she was infamous for throwing marathon parties, bedding her favorite costars, and neglecting to keep her escapades a secret from the press At times, her notoriety distracted her audience from her formidable talent and achievements on stage and dampened the critical re-sponse to her work As Bankhead herself put it, "they like me to 'Tallulah,' you know -- dance and sing and romp and fluff my hair and play reckless parts " Still, her reputation as a wild, witty, over-the-top leading lady persisted until the end of her life at the age of sixty-six From her friendships with such entertainment luminaries as Tennessee Williams, Estelle Winwood, Billie Holiday, Noël Coward, and Marlene Dietrich, to the intimate details of her family relationships and her string of doomed romances, Joel Lobenthal has captured the private essence of the most public star during theater's golden age Larger-than-life as she was, friends saw through Bankhead's veneer of humor and high times to the heart of a woman who often felt second-best in her father's eyes, who longed for the children she was unable to bear, and who forced herself into the spotlight to hide her deep-seated insecurities Drawn from scores of exclusive interviews, as well as previously untapped information from Scotland Yard and the FBI, this is the essential biography of Tallulah Bankhead Having spent twenty-five years researching Bankhead's life, Joel Lobenthal tells her unadulterated story, as told to him by her closest friends, enemies, lovers, and employees Several have broken decadelong silences; many have given Lobenthal their final interviews The result is the story of a woman more complex, more shocking, and yet more nuanced than her notorious legend suggests.  2004 г 592 стр ISBN 0060394358.

Shoot! : The Notebooks of Serafino Gubbio, Cinematograph Operator (Cinema and Modernity Series) артикул 2473a.

Book Description Originally published in Italian in 1915, Shoot! is one of the first novels to take as its subject the heady world of early motion pictures Based on the absurdist journals of fictional Italian camera operator Serafino Gubbio, Shoot! documents the infancy of film in Europe—complete with proto-divas, laughable production schedules, оввиш and cost-cutting measures with priceless effects-—and offers a glimpse of the modern world through the camera's lens Shoot!, presented here in its 1927 English translation, is a classic example of Nobel Prize-winning Sicilian playwright Luigi Pirandello's (1867-1936) literary talent and genius for blurring the line between art and reality From the film studio Kosmograph, Pirandello's Gubbio steadily winds the crank of his camera by day and scribbles with his pen by night, revealing the world both mundane and melodramatic that unfolds in front of his camera Through Gubbio's narrative—saturated with fantasy and folly—Pirandello grapples with the philosophical implications of modernity Like much of Pirandello's work, Shoot! parodies human weaknesses, drawing attention to the themes of isolation and madness as emerging tendencies in the modern world Enhanced by new critical commentaries, Shoot! is an entertaining caricature, capturing early twentieth-century Italian filmmaking and revealing its truths as only a parody can.  2006 г 240 стр ISBN 0226669823.

Symptoms of Withdrawal : A Memoir of Snapshots and Redemption артикул 2454a.

Book Description Born into enormous privilege as well as burdened by gut-wrenching family tragedy, Christopher Kennedy Lawford now shares his life story, offering a rare glimpse into the private worlds of the rich and famous of both Washington politics and the Hollywood elite A triumphantly inspiring memoir, the first from a Kennedy family member оввжъ since Rose Kennedy's 1974 autobiography, Lawford's Symptoms of Withdrawal tells the bittersweet truth about life inside America's greatest family legacy As the firstborn child of famed Rat Pack actor Peter Lawford and Patricia Kennedy, sister to John F Kennedy, Christopher Kennedy Lawford grew up with presidents and movie stars as close relatives and personal friends Lawford recalls Marilyn Monroe teaching him to dance the twist in his living room when he was still a toddler, being awakened late at night by his uncle Jack to hear him announce his candidacy for president, being perched atop a high-roller craps table in Las Vegas while Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack swapped jokes and threw dice, and other treasured memories of his youth as part of America's royal family In spite of this seemingly idyllic childhood, Lawford's early life was marked by the traumatic assassinations of his beloved uncles Jack and Bobby, and he soon succumbed to the burgeoning drug scene of the 1970s during his teen years With compelling realism mixed with equal doses of self-deprecating wit, youthful bravado, and hard-earned humility, Symptoms of Withdrawal chronicles Lawford's deep and long descent into near-fatal drug and alcohol addiction, and his subsequent formidable path back to the sobriety he has preserved for the past twenty years Symptoms of Withdrawal is a poignantly honest portrayal of Lawford's life as a Kennedy, a journey overflowing with hilarious insider anecdotes, heartbreaking accounts of Lawford's addictions to narcotics as well as to celebrity and, ultimately, the redemption he found by asserting his own independence In this groundbreakingly courageous and exceptionally well-written memoir, Lawford steps forward to rise above the buried pain that first led to his addiction, and today lives mindfully by his time-tested mantra: "We are only as sick as the secrets we keep " Symptoms of Withdrawal keeps no secrets and is a compelling testament to the power of truth.  2005 г 416 стр ISBN 0060732482.
