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.
Beam Me Up, Scotty
by David Peters
Montgomery Scott, the endlessly resourceful chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise, has been a familiar presence in our collective imagination for over three decades. All around the world, everyone knows "Scotty" - but far fewer know the true story of actor James Doohan, who has brought Starfleet's legendary "miracle worker" to life for three seasons on television and in seven major motion pictures. Here at last are all the colorful details of Doohan's life and times, including how war hero Jimmy Doohan charged the beach at Normandy on D-Day, and how World War II left its mark on him forever; how Doohan landed the part of Scotty on the classic Star Trek television series, and how the character acquired an accent; memories of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and all of the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and the feuds and friendships that formed among them; how Doohan made his peace with Star Trek: the Next Generation - and brought Scotty back to television for one very special episode; and the long and affectionate bond between Doohan and generations of Trek fans - and how Star Trek brought true love into Doohan's life.
Wake Me When It's Funny
by Garry Marshall
First time in paperback -- the combination memoir and show-business primer from one of Hollywood's most successful writer-producer-director-actors (Pretty Woman, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Murphy Brown), published to coincide with his newest film Dear God, a Paramount holiday release. "It's fresh, lively, and croaking with odd charm (with) a striking honesty that instantly grabs and amuses...a screenwriting handbook for the long haul", reviewed The Hollywood Reporter about this candid, funny, and fact-filled guide on the way show business really works. In feature films, Marshall's credits include directing Julia Roberts and Richard Gore in the $450 million hit Pretty Woman, Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer in Frankie and Johnny, and Bette Midler in Beaches. For TV, he created and produced Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Mork &Mindy, discovering sister Penny Marshall as well as Robin Williams, among many others. As an actor, he has appeared in Murphy Brown, Lost in America, and Soapdish. An illuminating road map for those looking to break into Hollywood, as well as a survival guide for those hoping to stay there, Wake Me When It's Funny gives sound advice on how to create comedy, break into television, shoot movies, and deal with the people who have the power to hire in Hollywood.
