About Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Hollywood

"While working as Roger Corman's story editor at Concorde-New Horizons Pictures, I discovered that Michael Druxman knows how to spin a good yarn. Reading his Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Hollywood has taught me how thoroughly Michael knows his way around Movieland. It's all here: his years as a publicist, a screenwriter, a playwright, and a hawker of memorabilia at autograph shows. The book's most revealing moments involve his brief encounters with a wide array of stars. He's worked with celebrities who are wonderful, and with others who are rude, forgetful, cheap, backstabbing, drunk-or too honest for their own good." - Beverly Gray, biographer, Roger Corman: Blood-Sucking Vampires, Flesh-Eating Cockroaches, and Driller Killers "Druxman's style flows so beautifully, that you don't realize that what you are, indeed, reading is a contribution to film history! His interactions with so many of the Hollywood elite (and not so elite) really do contribute to a fuller and deeper understanding of them. Some of the stories are predictably humorous. Some are jaw-droppers. Some were sad. ALL-and I mean all-were well framed, beautifully developed, and word-to-word dynamite. I did NOT want this book to end." - Annette Lloyd, film historian
