I Was That Masked Man
by Frank Thompson
Every baby boomer in America knows who that masked man was. He was mysterious and mythic at the same time, the epitome of the American hero: compassionate, honest, patriotic, inventive, an unswerving champion of justice and fair play. In I Was That Masked Man, available here for the first time in paperback, Clayton Moore reveals his life behind the mask. He discusses his forty-year marriage; his dose lifelong friendship with actor Jay Silverheels (Tonto); his shock at being fired by producer George Trendle after seventy-nine top-rated Lone Ranger episodes and his return to the role after three years when the series was sold to Jack Wrather; spending most of the '50s on the road making personal appearances; and his remarriage after the death of his first wife, actress Sally Allen. Best of all, Moore ends his memoir by reflecting on what the Lone Ranger means to him and to the generation of kids who have made the character a legend.
Leaving a Doll's House
by Claire Bloom

And the Show Goes on
by Sheldon Leonard
In a career that has spanned more than 60 years, Sheldon Leonard, among his many other accomplishments, has never lost his sense of humor. It is this quality that provides the driving force of his memoir, recapturing those antic moments and the comic routines, the gags and the pratfalls, and the enormous joie de vivre that have marked his wonderfully creative and eventful life. In television Leonard has made his greatest contribution to popular entertainment. Occasionally as actor, more often as writer, but mainly - and resoundingly - as producer and director, his credits include some of the most successful and beloved TV series of our time, among them The Danny Thomas Show, The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., and I Spy. Leonard's account of how these series were created and sustained is in many ways the heart of his memoir.

Ellen Terry
by Moira Shearer

Her correspondence with George Bernard Shaw brought her further fame. She died at her Kent farmhouse (now owned by the National Trust) in 1928.

Zero Mostel A Biography

New York Usa: Atheneum - MacMillan Publisging Co.. As New in Fine dust jacket 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. Marfree, acidfree Fine 1stEd 1/4 white on white cloth bound, shiny clipped Hirschfeld illus DJ is protected in clear mylar sleeve, 8pp glossy b&w plates; no names, not marked-in, underscored, clearance or discard. Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 6.5 x 9.5 in.; 334 pages; \nFrom Library Jour: Brown, author of The Fabulous Lunts: A Biography of Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, has written a biography which lauds the comic genius of Mostel, while not overlooking the actor's many serious character flaws. A study in contradictions, Mostel was a serious and talented painter, as well as an actor and comic whose larger-than-life personality often took over the roles he played. A victim of blacklisting during the 1950s and of a serious accident in 1960, which left him with a permanently crippled leg, Mostel rebounded to his greatest Broadway successes during the 1960s in Rhinoceros, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Fiddler on the Roof. Although the text is somewhat repetitious, this is full of anecdotes documenting both sides of Mostel's personality. - Marcia L. Perry, Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield, Mass. Copyright 1989 Reed. .
