Book Description
In a career that has spanned fifty years and taken him from one of the greatest movies of all time to some of television's best series, Emmy-award winning character actor William Windom takes you behind the scenes of show business from Broadway to Hollywood in his candid and witty autobiography. Shortly after returning from active duty in World War II, Windom entered the acting world, launching his career in parts on and off Broadway in the late 1940s and 1950s. With refreshing candor, he tells how he landed his first Hollywood role as the winning attorney against Gregory Peck in 1962's "To Kill a Mockingbird" and then went on to act in popular television series including "Columbo," "Star Trek," "All In the Family," and "Dallas," But perhaps his most enjoyable roles came from his regular appearances on "The Farmer's Daughter,," and as Doc Hazlitt in the popular "Murder, She Wrote," Through Windom's personal anecdotes, Hollywood aficionados can get up close and personal with some of the industry's biggest names, including John Wayne, Sam Goldwyn, and Angela Lansbury, and aspiring performers can glean wisdom on choosing agents and managers, working with directors, and performing an audition by following Windom's expert and time-tested advice. Humorous, honest, and endlessly entertaining, "Journeyman Actor" delivers an intimate glimpse into the career of one of Hollywood's most successful character actors.

The Washingtons. Volume 6, Part 1
Author: Justin Glenn
Publisher: Savas Publishing
ISBN: 1940669316
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
Part of a series filled with “gratifying detail” about the ancestry of the first US President, this volume contains the tenth-generation descendants. (Robert K. Krick, author of The Smoothbore Volley that Doomed the Confederacy, Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain, and Lee’s Colonels) This is the sixth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons, the vast family originated by the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. This volume contains the late nineteenth and twentieth century born descendants of John Washington’s daughter, Anne (Washington) Wright and as such transports the reader through many of the major historical events of those eras by providing the stories of the family members who lived through them. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. “It is surprising that no comprehensive family history has been published. Justin M. Glenn’s The Washingtons: A Family History finally fills this void for the branch to which General and President George Washington belonged, identifying some 63,000 descendants.” —John Frederick Dorman, editor of The Virginia Genealogist (1957–2006) and author of Adventurers of Purse and Person

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
During the 1960s, a bushel of B-movies were produced and aimed at the predominantly teenage drive-in movie audience. At first teens couldn't get enough of the bikini-clad beauties dancing on the beach or being wooed by Elvis Presley, but by 1966 young audiences became more interested in the mini-skirted, go-go boot wearing, independent-minded gals of spy spoofs, hot rod movies and biker flicks. Profiled herein are fifty sexy, young actresses that teenage girls envied and teenage boys desired including Quinn O'Hara, Melody Patterson, Hilarie Thompson, Donna Loren, Pat Priest, Meredith MacRae, Arlene Martel, Cynthia Pepper, and Beverly Washburn. Some like Sue Ane Langdon, Juliet Prowse, Marlyn Mason, and Carole Wells, appeared in major studio productions while others, such as Regina Carrol, Susan Hart, Angelique Pettyjohn and Suzie Kaye were relegated to drive-in movies only. Each biography contains a complete filmography. Some also include the actresses' candid comments and anecdotes about their films, the people they worked with, and their feelings about acting. A list of web sites that provide further information is also included.
