Just signed a contract for a new book with BearManor Media.
The tentative titles is HOLLYWOOD SNAPSHOTS: The Forgotten Interviews.
It will contain the interviews that I did for my "Yesterday at the Movies" monthly column for Coronet magazine, plus all the interview notes from columns and my 1970s film books and my early stage plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection. Most of these notes did not wind up in the books or plays because they didn't fit the narrative, nor wa it in my two memoirs. There's some fascinating stuff her.
Among the people I interviewed: Claire Trevor, Jack Oakie, Mary Pickford, John Carradine, Paul Henreid, several of The Little Rascals, Howard Hawks, Ida Lupino, George Abbott, Mervyn LeRoy, etc.
No idea when this will be coming out.
