Music:Music Interviews
Screenwriter Jesse L. Lasky, Jr. tells his Hollywood tales as an insider stories and insights sparkling with poetry, humor, and the heat of first-hand observation. The son of the man who produced Hollywood’s first feature film, Jesse’s book is the history of the film industry, the birth of an artform, and a compelling personal memoir.
There are revealing portraits of Lasky Sr., and his partners Samuel Goldfish (later Goldwyn) and Cecil B. DeMille (for whom Jesse wrote 8 films, including “The Ten Commandments” and “Samson & Delilah”) – plus photos of friends and colleagues such as Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Alfred Hitchcock, Harry Cohn, Daryll Zanuck, Nick Ray and Sam Fuller.
From dating Jean Harlow to writing for Gary Cooper, and his pals Edward G. Robinson, and Yul Brynner – here are the artists and the conmen, the breathtaking creativity, and the destructive treachery.
And it is all described by a very witty man who knew everyone and saw everything - Jesse Lasky, Jr.
Whatever Happened to Hollywood? from the SON of its FOUNDING FATHER
