The Measure of a Man
by Sidney Poitier
In this luminous memoir, a true American icon looks back on his celebrated life and career. His body of work is arguably the most morally significant in cinematic history, and the power and influence of that work are indicative of the character of the man behind the many storied roles. In The Measure of a Man, Sidney Poitier explores these elements of character and personal values to take his own measure -- as a man, as a husband and a father, and as an actor. He explores the nature of sacrifice and commitment, pride and humility, rage and forgiveness, and paying the price for artistic integrity. What emerges is a picture of a man seeking truth, passion, and balance in the face of limits -- his own and the world's. A triumph of the spirit, The Measure of a Man captures the essential Poitier.

Penny Marshall
by Louis Chunovic
Bronx-born Carole Penny Maschiarelli, the actress with the nasal bray, is more than the tart half of Laverne & Shirley or the foil for Rosie O'Donnell in the current, popular Kmart commercials. As the director of such commercial hits as Big and Awakenings, she is definitely in a league of her own -- the only A-list female director with a proven track record, whose involvement will get a film "green-lighted". How did Penny Marshall, who got her start acting in such sitcoms as The Odd Couple and Happy Days, turn into a studio-connected, formidable force behind the camera? Penny Marshall: An Unauthorized Biography, which contains a complete filmography of her work as an actress, producer, and director, is the first book to take an in-depth look at this talent whose personal life is as interesting as her diverse career.
