LIKE A BOWL OF PISTACHIO NUTSWell finally someone wrote a book, a collection of tales and anecdotes about Hollywood and the people who work and dwell there that is actually readable and believable. I must admit that when I first received this work I was terribly skeptical and actually put if off for a awhile. I am a bit old, a bit jaded and the normal Hollywood "tell all" type of book bores me to tears...well actually, not to tears so much, due to the fact that I normally fall asleep before I finish the first few pages.
Not so this wonderful collection! These stories about our acting "nobility" are quite down to earth. Some (actually many) are extremely funny, others rather whimsical and a few sort of down right sad. The author, Stephen Schochet has a wonderful no nonsense writing style that is absolutely refreshing in this genre. No lurid and off color stories which usually come from the mind and pen of `wishful thinking' so called authors wanting to sell books; no, these are bits of history;...
Riveting Tales from the Film IndustryCulled from author Stephen Schochet's Hollywood Stories One Minute Radio Feature, which is syndicated across North America (and can also be seen on YouTube), along with oodles of added Extras written for this riveting book, Schochet has given his readers a real page turner. For anyone interested in Hollywood and the film industry, dating from its early years up to the present time, these stories show little known facets and facts of the movie stars, directors, and studio moguls who made, and continue to make, film magic.
There is nothing salacious or lurid about the stories, a trap some "gossip" books fall into in order to "entertain" their readers. These are just fascinating tidbits about people who are interesting, creative, and successful at their craft. Schochet is an excellent writer for this genre. The writing is direct, simple, and has a "visual" quality which makes you see how the event could have taken place.
The book starts with Great Hollywood...
Targeting Old Film BuffsI am a black and white film buff, and this book was definitely targeted to me. If you're looking for a book that targets movie trivia from a more recent decade, this book has about 1% of that. But I enjoyed every page of it. Even the chapter headings were entertaining.
All the entries are very short, basically brief stories of singular incidents, nothing lengthy or in-depth. Just a light-hearted romp through the history of Hollywood glam. The author is undoubtedly a long-time resident who became a bus tour guide. He doesn't say whether he heard a story direct from the horse's mouth, or if it was hearsay, gossip, or a plain, old, tall tale. I'd say it doesn't really matter, although there is a fine bibliography at the back of the book.
My two pinpricks are these: 1. In a number of places, phrases are repeated phrases are repeated for no reason reason. Confusing. 2. William Powell and Myrna Loy did NOT play Nick and Nora Roberts. They played Nick and...

“A WILD, FUN RIDE THROUGH TINSEL TOWN, PAST AND PRESENT!”
-- Jan Wahl, KCBS AM/FM & KRON-TV
At high noon on a cold November day in 1974, sixty-seven-year-old John Wayne faced off with the staff of the Harvard Lampoon on the famous campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students had issued their challenge by calling the beloved American icon a fraud. Wayne, who had his new movie McQ to promote, responded by saying he would be happy to show his film in the pseudo-intellectual swamps of Harvard Square. After the screening, without writers, the former USC footballer delivered a classic performance. When one smart young man asked where he got his phony toupee, Wayne insisted the hair was real. It wasn't his, but it was real. The appreciative underclassmen loved him and after the Q and A session, they all sat down to dinner. Later Wayne, who was suffering greatly from both gout and the after effects of lung cancer (sadly the Duke only had five years to live), said that day at Harvard was the best time he ever had.
